Any ideas?? ARC CD 3 doesn't work

I went to fire up my CD 3 Mk 2 this morning and it is completely black! I slid the door, I tried the remote, I pushed the STD By button, I changed the power cord, I checked the fuse box, I plugged in something else to insure the outlet was OK and the case is stone cold. I have a local service outlet I can take it tomorrow, I am crushed.
Any ideas what might have happen??

I'm in Upstate N.Y (Rochester to be exact) but, I'm really hoping that it's nothing more than just a fuse. As I keep thinking about it scares me because the unit was cold to the touch as opposed to just a touch of warm as it usually is. The tech also wondered if the laser failed, but I dismiss that as it should still have power and light up the display.

Laser failed???
It's not logical at all.
Why look at laser if power supply is first one in the loop?
Perhaps it's not techie spoken to you, but front desk dood blasting out his mindless assumptions to your ears.

At one time , 50-60 years ago, Rochester NY was THE best city in the USA.Now like every old industrial city from Wooster MA to Gary IN a total wreck.

The bright side is that at least new best places have come along to replace them. Times change. Nothing lasts forever. Are their any new best places yet in China?

I hope the OP took his CD 3 to an authorized ARC service tech. These guys know their ARC gear and work closely with the factory to ensure the unit is returned to original operating spec.
