Hans, ISTR seeing a recent message from someone else who had this
problem, and who was handy with a soldering iron. They opened up
the psu box and found a blown fuse, and replacing it with a similar
rated one fixed it. If you aren't comfortable with a hot soldering
iron, perhaps you can find someone who is.
