NAD T-777 Receiver no longer turning on

[David Vaughn]

That’s insane.

Agreed...I'm not sure I would have paid that for a 9 year old AVR. The technology moves too quickly. $200 goes a long way towards a replacement--even an used one that's a year or two old.

$199 diagnostic fee? 

My bet is power supply capacitors....... under $10 in parts.

[tripplej]

yeah, let me see what happens.

Problem is that we don't have the funds to replace the AVR with one that is equivalent to the NAD..

When I purchased that 2013 NAD, it was $3K..

Too many other expenses that have already been allocated unfortunately with financial funds.

When it rains, it pours sometimes.

Worst case, if it is too costly to repair, I just lost $200 and will have to live with TV speakers for time being..

Let's hope the final bill is not too bad.

I completely understand. Hopefully it's a quick (and cheap) fix.

If it comes down to it, Accessories4less has good deals on clearance electronics, last year's models etc. They carry primarily Denon, Marantz, Yamaha for HT AVRs. You can get a very solid couple years ago Marantz for 1/2 of that NAD.

Good to know. Thanks.

Back then in 2013, I saved up over 8-10 years to get my home theater system updated. I researched everywhere and checked all the forums and that particular NAD was the top dog to get.

Prior to that, I had a very old prehistoric Sony AVR which was from the early 2000s or late 90s.

Now, well, times have changed. I don't have the means anymore so have to start saving again...

Such is life. lol. A roller coaster of fun with lots of ups and downs! lol.

I just picked up my unit.

Apparently, when they ran the diagnostics, nothing was found. They ended up resetting it back to factory defaults and now it all works. Powers on and off without any issues.

I didn't have to pay anything extra.

I have the unit and it will take me sometime to get it reconnected to the other systems but at least it is back home and hopefully will not act up again.

Thanks all for the help.

Next time, I will have to research a new AVR..

Very good news, glad that worked out with no further pain for you. And a good reminder to all of us, sometimes that reboot/reset actually helps!

[tripplej]

yeah, I will have to investigate via the manual how I can reset everything back to factory, hopefully it is defined there.

I'm sure there's a Youtube video. 

[tripplej]

true, everything is on youtube now!

[David Vaughn]

Glad it's "fixed." Too bad you're out $$$$ when a simple reset fixed it

[bmoney]

Thanks for the update!

[tripplej]

well, everything is a learning lesson. So, live and learn as they say!

[bmoney]

That’s a great attitude to go by. Wish  I could learn that lol
