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.

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.
Thanks Czarivey, I have cut my losses and sent it back for repair. I don't think anyone would take it back after an attempted repair. I will be interested to find out what the problem was.
I was told it was a pin hole in the transformer case? Apparently damaged during transit? I would have thought the transformer was securely bolted to the chassis, shouldn't be loose objects travelling around in the case. Anyhow the dealer was great and is getting me a new one, should be here in 2 weeks.
