This unit is dead, no power indicator, all the fuses checked out good. I power it up and I can hear the power supply is ticking. I was able to download the service manual from MACKIE which is really nice of them. Check the DC output at the Cathode of the +5V, +15V and I can see the meter's bar graph is going up and down in sync with the ticking, then I check Anode of the -15V section and it does not show anything on the meter so that narrow down to something in the -15V section, sure enough, the rectifier is shorted and that is why I do not see the DC voltage going up and down. Easy fix.
The funny thing is that the power consumption is 160W, but it claims to have 500W out x 2! What a joke.
