    G540 Blown, how do I fix it?

    Upon installing my new power supply, I ignorantly put a switch on the DC side (between the power supply and G540). The new setup was running fine for a couple weeks until today when it made a loud pop and hasn't turned on since. I have now removed the switch on the DC side and I have already replaced the fuse inside and still I am not getting anything on the G540.

    Does accidently putting a switch on the DC side permanently destroy the G540 or can it be repaired. If it can be repaired, how do I go about repairing it?

    Thank you for your time,
    Jason

    Send it back to Gecko, and they'll fix it for free.
