    Default NSI MC7532 blowing fuses

    I've got an NSI MC7532 that was installed about a year ago that won't turn on and blows any fuses you put in to it when you turn on the power switch. Has anyone had an issue like this before with this board or a similar board? Does anyone have any insight as to what the issue might be? I'd really like to get this thing fixed before the first band night on August 29th.

    Power supply failure. (built in) Best case, diode quad. Not sure if that unit uses a switch/mode PWM supply or not. If so, that would require factory service.

    That's what I figured. I was hoping to be able to just purchase a replacement power supply from NSI and install it, I'll have to look at the parts list for the console and see what the deal is. This being because the warranty card and original reciept are long gone, so even if it was still under warranty (don't know), I probably wouldn't be able to cash in on it (it's about 14 months old to date, give or take a few weeks).

    NSI's warranty and non warranty service is excellent and very reasonable cost wise.
