Dead Denon mc 3000

[Kevin glenville]

Hi all I'm after a bit of help, I work in a school and they have a denon mc 3000 in the music dept. Unfortunately a student plugged a 18 v power supply into it and killed it.
I have removed the top but can't see any visible damage.
Appreciate any advice

Ouch! Let's hope one of the technocrats comes by soon. Sorry to be a prophet of doom, but these things don't often end happily.

Oh for the old days, when you might get away with fifty pence worth of fuse.

Is it a Demon, Denton or Denon
Cant really help you unfortunately, but I would assume a new power management unit would be required. Could be a cheap fix if none of the rest is damaged.

Says Denon on my screen, Toby.

Just goes to show the importance of keeping the correct power supplies with equipment. Labelling them is an excellent idea, too.

Do controllers have fuses? Would be the first thing I'd check!

I was going to suggest that, but did not know if they were fused for low voltage. Someone else is probably much better to advise. My bet would be one of the power management chips/transistors is blown or something?
