Hi Chris, Have you checked the amperage output; on other threads about (I think it is a receiver model) several people have found that when the component fails to start, the power supply is still showing sufficient voltage by measurement but not supplying enough current to start the component. Can you source a supply of 18 volts and maybe 2amps or so? Just a suggestion :) atb Ronnie. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Man in a van's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43627 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106273 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
