Rather than start a new thread, I'm bringing this back from the dead. I've had a second generation HTS 5100 for probably 8 years, and I bought it used fairly cheap.
It died the other day. No idea why.
Opened it up and immediately shook my head as it was so far above me.
I tested for mains power at the first board, so the circuit breaker is OK. I looked at the board where the On and Off momentary switches connect...there is 120AC.
Honestly, I'm at the level of putting together well documented projects from the forums following instructions.
I pretty much figure this thing has had a lifespan as expected.
The only thing I am wondering, is whether or not I can hack/cannibalize it so I could have some kind of simple power center that maintains some of the filtering without all the crazy bells and whistles. I need something to power my equipment.
I took a pic of the guts. All the supplies have relays controlling them. Not sure if there's a way to retain that whole board and use it along with other simple features.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Kevin
