a BAD BAD Day for Digital

I brought both my transports to a local electronics TV VCR handyman to cut the captive cord on my Procced PDT3 transport and install a removable IEC type and to check if he could fix a non working display on an Audiomeca Mephisto.

Well the Mephisto now wont remain powered on and now my Proceed wont lock onto the Genesis DIgital Lens or my Audilogic DAC. I rememeber a thread a week or so ago where another member stated that there is digital info fed in from the ac ground.?? Could it be possible this person miswired the IEC?? Any thoughts or hints would help, as I need to bring my stuff back to him and give the best direction on what to look at to remedy this problem.

thanks all

Danger Will Robinson!

If the original power cord used only two conductors then you MUST NOT connect the ground when installing an IEC connector.

I am not an electrician but I have read several posts on AA that discuss this situation.

If your tech attached a ground where there was none previously I would not use that person again.
