Last New Year:
Smokey New Year - need a remote diagnosisFirst, a Hello and happy new year!
On the last day of 2014 my wife and I heard in the morning like most days beautiful music from our Meridian multi-channel system. Then visit came to the New Year and we walked a bit together. When we got back home was smoke in our living room and it smelled of burnt electronics pushy.
The smoke and smell coming from the G68!
It smelled so bad that we had had to change the location and partied with our friends at there home.
Since then, the G68 does not boot. There was only a small pre sign - the fan on the unit had been running for some time more than before and increasingly in higher speed, while also disable some time in standby mode.
Does anyone know what could probably be the reason for this problem? Transformer or what?
Thanks and greetings from Switzerland. Stefan
A year later of this post - my G68 is at Meridian's repairstation!
After I changed the old power supply with no success - it must have suffered even other parts of the electronics in the total loss of power supply.
I think in knowing that I was not an isolated case, that it is high time to replace this power supply with a better solution. My M-sound system is working in an over 250-year wooden house - like the smelt and how the printed circuit board and the surroundings inside the G68 looked, had since quite a fire may occur.
Now I am hoping for a obliging repair of that damage and I am glad to now a completely new power supply variant is used - that gives me much more confidence!
In the meantime, I changed to a M 861v4 - this sounds a little better (hard to say without comparison) - for the home theater the G68 with the real 7.1, however, was the better solution. When it is repaired - the G68 will then sound for my second living place.
