Lexicon MC-1; DC-1 Power supplies


Has anyone else had a power supply die in their Lexicon MC-1, or DC-1 or 2?

It's happened to me twice now. They use what appears to me to be a pretty cheap switching power supply. Lexicon won't service these units for less than $600 (though for that they do a complete refurb). I had my DC-1 repaired a couple of years ago by local reputable shop and it cost $200.

I love the units for home theater. They sound great and are very user friendly for setup and control, but wonder about the reliability.

Am I just unlucky?

Anyone care to say how they removed power supply without bending side panel? I am preparing to do this only as a last resort.
Answered my own question. There are access holes for each screw so really quite easy.
To those looking for the power supply for a MC-1 they have them here also. As the original listing is out of stock and waiting for delivery. With 79 on order.

After a power outage, my DC-1 won't start up. I'll check the fuse before pulling the PS. Can someone verify if the MC-1 PS is the same for the DC-1 as found here? http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=NFS40-7610Jvirtualkey54020000virtualkey826-NFS40-7610J
