After a lightning strike very near my house, my SDS200 will not power up.
How do I tell if it is "dead" or needs a "reset"?

I did not have an external antenna outside at the time.

Any help? Thanks

No light , no sound, no picture usually is a indication of no power. The rear power connector is center pin +. If you have the original box I believe a DC cigarette lighter power cord came with the unit. Keep us posted.

If the unit was turned off at the time you have a good chance that just the DC adapter died.

I had the same thing happen to me with an exercise bike. I thought I was going to have to replace the main board, but then decided to check the power supply. Dead. Replaced via Amazon and back in business.

One step up from not checking to see if it was plugged in! o_O

Thank you all - It was the power adapter. Ordered a replacement from Amazon ($9.00) and it now is back in service.
