Fixing surged audio gear?

[mikewoodkoza]

I know a guy who is trying to unload a piece of really hi end audio gear on the cheap because after a lightning strike it does not power up.

It is a CD player

What is likey to be fried? Can it be fixed?

All depends, surge fried my Yamaha CDP, if its just the power, you are very lucky, if its power+other circuits as in case of my Yamaha DVD player and SONY RPTV, then its hell and not worth it.

If you are really lucky, it's just a fuse...but no-one's that lucky...
