Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems 861 Failed Power supply

Hi all

After a recent power surge that killed my left DSP6000 I have been payed out by insurance to have the DSP6000 replaced and unfortunately signed a discharge of any further claims as a result of the incident.

Now my 861 won't power up after I switched it off at the back last night. As this was only a couple of weeks ago I think they're related but I'm SOL having signed the discharge.

I'm hoping it's just a power supply, and it was still working yesterday with my single DSP6000.

I'm trying to recall. When switching it on at the rear flip switch did it display something immediately? Or only when a source was selected? Is there any testing I can do to confirm a dead PSU?

I had it fully services by Meridian in 2008 and non of the bottom buttons worked since but I lived with it as I'd moved to New Zealand,

Any idea of the cost for a replacement PSU, particularly the linear one?

It feels like my system is at the end am so missing it!

Have been emailing Chris at a Meridian repair shop but no reply yet. Will try calling him soon.

Thanks
