Akai S950 no power

#1

I have an Akai S950, it got left on for about a week on accident, and since then has not turned back on. I also got it a few years ago with a very poorly installed LCD replacement, it was not screwed onto the front securely, so it slowly seemed to become dislodged behind the face place. It no longer powers up, I don’t see any lights or anything, I don’t think it’s getting any power, but I don’t know that for sure.

I took the case off and don’t see any obvious damage. Where would I start on getting this fixed?

Not sure what your skill level is, but you should start with the power supply. Get a service manual so you know what the voltages should be and start measuring voltages.

Thanks for the reply. I’m not particularly skilled at this, but my friend is an electrician, so he’s going to bring me a multimeter and teach me how to use it. I’d really like to learn how to repair stuff like this, so at least its an opportunity to learn. I’ll report back with what I find.

Here’s a link to the 950 service manual

Thank you.

Ended up being a blown fuse, got it fixed just now. Thanks for the help, this is the first electronics thing I’ve ever fixed.
