Any ideas?? ARC CD 3 doesn't work

Will let you know what they say. They were closed for the Thanksgiving weekend when I wrote and asked so, I'm just waiting to hear back but, so far as reported it sounds like all else is up to snuff and will be put back to proper specs.

So what the story? Just a cap or did ARC prophylactically replace some other parts that were near the end of their life span??

Funny you should ask, I just heard from ARC yesterday that the CD 3 is ready to come home (yeah!!). Everything else was fine but... they did have to replace 5 caps in the power supply and did just some maintainence lubing the transport and also replaced the slide door as it had gotten scratched. A Venom Defender will be here today or tomorrow as it would seem obvious that I had a spike that caused the failure. I'll sure be glad when it gets home again. Thank you for your suggestions and your input.

Care to share how much ARC charged?

I'd prefer not to but, the cost was very reasonable (imho) and was less than what I had feared it might be and the Venom Defender just arrived as I was writing this too, so I'm a happy guy today and the CD 3 is on it's journey back home to me :). Huge Kudos ARC for their outstanding customer service and communication! I'll post a follow up on how it sounds in a couple of weeks.
