Panday, The LED flashes four times after power is pushed. More specifically, push power button, click (power relay), it flashes three times, then second power click, then one more flash. Bob Waterman sent this interesting hint. ---pasted text--- SYMPTOMS When unit is turned on, you get relay click but no power. There is nothing coming out of the main switch mode power supply. RESOLUTION Examine the top side of the A board (A1299243A). The heat sink that IC601 switch mode convertor IC is mounted to on a lot of these boards is a U-shaped aluminum one piece heat sink with an extra piece that bends over the top. It has 3 mounting legs that solder through the board. Recently I have seen more of these boards with a U-shaped aluminum heat sink that has a second finned aluminum heak sink that is black in color mounted to the top of the U-shaped heat sink. This version only has 2 mounting legs soldered to the board. If the unit you are working on has this heat sink in it, try moving the heat sink. If it moves, the two mounting tabs have broken off at the base of the heat sink and most likely, IC601/pins 2 and 4 are broken at the first 90 degree bend in them coming from the IC. You will have to remove the black finned heat sink from the top and remove the primary input filter capacitor that sits directly under this and in front of the U-shaped heat sink. The 2 leads can then be soldered which will give more stability to the whole unit (or IC601 can be replaced) and the heat sinc will have to be secured to the board. I have used hot glue and/or RTV. I have not been able to find a part number for the heat sink. Re-assemble and your unit will power up again. I have seen 6 cases identical to this to date. ---end of pasted text--- I was hoping I had found number seven, but no joy. I have a new regulator on order. I got your file attachment, unzipped to about 11 Meg, but when I tried to open, it was in wordpad--blank. How can I open it.
