Advice on electronics repair - how badly have I bricked my DAC?

[nerrrd]

Thanks, that all sounds very sensible, unfortunately my capability doesn't go much beyond unscrewing things and taking them apart - I did find the service manual but apart from the assembly diagram it's all way beyond me.

The only other thing I've tried is reinstalling the firmware via the USB port, not surprisingly the computer couldn't see it.

Instead of a commercial repair outlet/business ... try asking at a local electronic club or similar. They might regard it as a bit of a challenge.

Even if it is dead ... they might find some of the parts to be useful for them.

They might even be able to fix it.


What have you got to lose ... ???

Yeah for sure, worth looking into.
