Pass Labs X250 meter failure


The meter on my amp quit functioning. It may have happened when I accidentally pushed the power button on, then off, then on again, in quick succession. I had read somewhere that this can cause the problem. I rarely look at it, so when I discovered it not working, I looked online to figure out why it quit. I emailed Pass Labs to see about a repair, and was informed I could send it back to them to have a new meter installed, which would run over 400 dollars.

I was wondering if anybody has had the same problem, but was able to repair the meter themselves. I realize the failures may not be similar, but I'm still interested if anyone has repaired it. I haven't even looked into the amp yet, as I never use the meter anyways. If it was an easy fix, maybe I'd open it up. Maybe.

Don't worry about.Enjoy your music.BTW,they will more than likely replace the meter not repair it.It's easier and they can charge more!!Just my thoughts.
Audiofeil....did you not notice the exclamation marks at the end of the sentence? In this case it was meant as a humorous jab.
How much money do you think Pass stands to make on a minor repair like this factoring in parts, labor, paperwork, shipping, etc?
Pass is not going to pay for these things,the customer will.Unless of course,the unit is under warranty,which it obviously isn't since they were going to charge the man over $400.00.Sorry if I hurt your feelings when I used your buddies as the butt of my joke.
