Audia flight protection mode

Hi I have bought a second hand Audia flight phono stage. It starts in standby and then the blue light flashes fast for 60 seconds, and then it switches on for about 2 seconds. It then locks up with a flashing blue light...so called protective mode. Nothing I do seems to change this. I was just wondering if anyone had experienced this, and if so what the fix was? It seems it worked perfectly in the dealer's demo system, but after transport has this error in 2 different systems. I would really love a quick fix, but the manual and the website have very little info on error conditions.

I would return it to the dealer, and let him figure it out. Only other thing to try is to check the fuses inside, but I would try to get the dealers input first.

I own the Audia Flight Phono and have never experienced anything like the situation you describe. I would guess that there is either a short of some type on the output or a problem with the protection circuitry.

Don't you have a return-refund timeframe even for 2nd hand sold equipment from the dealer?

Thanks for the responses. It's just the dealer is on the other side of the country, I was hoping there was a quick fix, without the need to ship back and forth.

well it usually happens when it doesn't read right voltage off the voltage regulator. to be more precise the circuit will not 'open' till it sees the right voltage. thus voltage regulator(often single ic) is often the one to replace. ask manufacturer if that is a common problem and what they recommend to do or offer to do if you decide to fix it on your own. if you try and try to troubleshoot yourself, be noted that you may leave noticeable traces of 'invasion' and it may block you from sending it back for refund or different unit.
