Thank you Carlton for pointing me to the paper about replacing the fuse in the IEC connector of my MD600.

I also followed your suggestion to replace the 2032 battery on the motherboard. Unfortunately, it’s going to take greater diagnostic and repair measures because my unit would not power on after those two steps including the removal of five years of dust build up.

The next step is to box up my unit and send it to Texas to have it repaired by Meridian’s US third party trouble-shooter. (I might send along my 818.2 to be upgraded to v3 while I’m at it.)

Again, I am grateful to the Hitchhiker community always offering sound advice and resources to solve the problems we encounter with our kit.
