Unit WILL NOT Turn ON

Although power cord is permanently attached, connections inside machine have broken off (from personal experience)from moving or jiggling. Unplug machine then check and see. That is, unless you are getting an "ON" red or green light when your machine ON. A question, did you have a power outage? In case you had one,and power is restore, the voltage surge can fry almost any electrical components including computer, refrigerator, freezer etc. Solution? ...a good surge protector.

I have no power going to the unit, I understand while I was away an electrical storm happened and this has knocked a few peoples tv's and pc's out, so if I have had my DVD recorder's bits burnt, is it worth repair or just throwing it away??

Thanks Neil

there is a high pitcg comming from the unit

you have a bloated cap on power supply board which needs replacing - replace 1000 microfarad/16V with same but 35 volt
