It did not blow the fuse or trip the breaker.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

But obviously that one went a little too long without the fix Early DA20s have a similar problem with their power supplies as well. Depending on the age of the unit, it should be a warranty fix. -Aaron  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.

Dolby does have an exchange service where a refurbished to Dolby specs CAT 700 is traded for yours for a flat fee......if it is only the board, may be less expensive to purchase a replacement and the molex connectors.

I have other pictures of how bad the amps were cloged with dirt and both projectors were in very bad shape. ( little or no oil ...old caked on grease ) what a mess. Aaron thanks for the service tip. Richard your right I went ahead and ordered a new power supply and a new AC connector/switch ( which was also damaged )  |  IP: Logged
