Hello everyone! Ive had my Yamaha HTR-5835 now for about 2 years or so and have had great success with it! I love the sound and ease of use. A couple nights ago I was installing my new HDTV and when I plugged all the wires into the back of the receiver and went to place the unit back onto the shelf of the entertainment system stand, I saw a small arc and then heard a crackle and then...nothing. :( I think I killed it but dont know what I did. Perhaps a speaker wire touched something else and arced, I dont know. But, regardless, it wont turn on.

It will, however, turn on long enough to show the display, then it goes out, dead.

Has anyone had this issue happen to them? Is it difficult/ expensive to fix? Can I do it myself? Any help with this would be great.

You probably shorted the two speaker leads and that blew an internal protection circuit. I would open up the case and see if there's a fuse or circuit breaker. If not, I'm afraid there's not much to be done but send it to Yamaha for repair.

I don't see a fuse in any obvious place. Would you happen to know where one might be?

Thanks!

Well the obvious place would be near to where the power cord first enters the case and before the transformer. But there may not even be one so it sounds like a call to Yamaha is in order.
