You can not buy "new parts" from Mcintosh.

I know both Otis and Les very well as they have basically kept my MS750's in great shape. You will be amazed at the work they do toyour power supply. They completely clean the board and once all new caps are installed, they heat silicone all of them to prevent leaking like they are prone to do (the brown stuff around the base of the caps). Real quality work. Hard to find these days.

I spoke to Otis. He seems like a very nice guy (he even mentioned you). They got my bd yesterday. Interestingly, I sent via ups 3day and they got it overnight! Must have been a mistake on UPSs part
I noticed on my bd, as you mentioned, the brownish stuff leaking around the base of some of the caps.
I look forward to seeing what kind of work they do.

Well, I got the power supply back today. The workmanship looked very good. They even returned the old parts that they replaced.So I installed the new power supply. Plugged in the power, heard the HD start up and the red light started to do it's blinking and blinking and blinking. AND that as far as it goes DAMN I really wanted to believe that it would work. I am really not a very happy camper. Maybe I should fill it full of green lights and make it a night light

Ed.......After I replaced my MS750 power supply with a new one I still had issues because the failing power supply caused a hard drive failure. I installed a new DVR rated 750GB IDE hard drive with the operating system preinstalled and the music server booted right up. I had a backup of the majority of my music files that I was able to restore to the new hard drive, then I hand loaded the remaining discs I wanted on the server.

You may have lost some boot sectors on your hard drive or had the file allocation tables corrupted. A new hard drive with the operating system will probably get you back up and running.
