    2385 Lights Out

    Hi guys, I was working on a Marantz 2385 and, while troubleshooting, I shorted out all the lights in the unit. I removed the dial bulbs and put in led's, but still no light. The unit is powered on and everything is working, minus the lights. Is it possible I shorted out something on PS00?
