I recently bought a 7800 off eBay. It was working for a while but then it was working sporadically. Then just a few days ago not at all. I'm not experienced with electronics, but I opened it up to see if something would jump out at me, like blown capacitors, nothing. I finally examined the power supply or AC adapter. I noticed the cord was damaged. As frustrating as it is at least I know the problem now. The not knowing was frustrating me the must.
I don't know what to do. Can the housing be opened? Should I attempt a repair? This seems to be a common failure point. I noticed a replacement power supply on eBay and it looks like it was repaired in the same location.
