I'm removing the power supply myself (or will try) this weekend. I called Ft Worth Audio and they quoted me a price along with a 1 week turn around time for the rebuild. They told me I might as well just remove it and sent it to them versus shipping the entire unit because all they do is remove and rebuild the power supply, nothing else and the rest would be up to me (or another repair service provider)

I'm a little concerned about the "final bill" so to speak, meaning that I know the cost of the power supply rebuild but what next?

Thanks Dan, I'll likely need some instruction/guidance with the hard drive anyway since I need the whole thing wiped clean (it has someone else's music on it) I'm starting to feel a little more positive and I appreciate everyone's help. We have a pretty good group of (likely) crazy people here!

Going with Ft. Worth is absolutely the right move. I also put a new drive in my MS300, a 750 version. I do recall needing the disc with the software which Chuck at Mc was kind enough to supply, called "MS complete" followed by a few numbers. I believe you will have to hook up to the Internet also, but my memory is a bit foggy on that. I have to reboot my unit once a week for reasons unknown but performance has been perfect since the PS rebuild.

Update: Power supply/board is at Ft Worth Audio, just waiting for repair. Should have it back sometime next week.
Side Note: dumb question perhaps but is there an easy way to incorporate a tablet to be used in conjunction with an ms750 versus a monitor or television? Simple answer is to sell the ms750 (for a big loss) after it's repaired and buy some type of a a network player right?

MS750 problem???
I think you can access the web server via your browser on a tablet. Just punch in the unit's address in the address bar. You have to be on the same network.

Ok, thank you. I'll definitely have some more connectivity questions soon but 1st thing is 1st, which is getting the PS back, installed and hopefully running. I sincerely appreciate all your help guys...I know helping guys like me with very old stuff probably isn't as fun and cool as delving into the newest products, etc. Thanks again.

Sad to report I just wasted more time and $. I got the board back from Ft Worth Audio and finally had time to put it back in today. I re installed it with high hopes and wait for it, wait for it..... STILL does not light up the faceplate, still pulses the red standby light, still repeatedly makes a faint beep followed by a "click" noise and that's all. So frustrated. What's next guys. Damn it.
