UPDATE. Just received a NFS40-7910 from eBay seller. Couldn't wait to install and test. My DC-1 started right up into diagnostics and seems to be working great again. For $19.99, can't beat it.
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?

My MC-1 also just stopped working - wasn't aware that I should not be subjecting it to cold starts - now I hear a clicking noise when I turn the toggle switch on the back - would it be the power supply or something else entirely? Also, if it is the power supply, does the MC-1 used the same PS as a DC-1? If not, I would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks. |
This question is for the Lexicon DC-2 power supply replacements. How has your DC-2 been performing since you replaced the power supply from Mouser at this link from the above threads? http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=NFS40-7610Jvirtualkey54020000virtualkey826-NFS40-7... |
