Was hoping someone ran into the same problem that I have with my TC Electronics Nova Drive.  It was working fine until recently.  Now it won't turn on.  I'm thinking that either the wrong power cord was used or just bad luck with the pedal as others have reported.

The only thing that I read that could be the issue is that there is a fusable link of sorts next to the power supply, and maybe that could be the issue and it would need to be replaced.

Any and all thoughts would be appreciated!

Step one is to open it up and connect it to the right power source and trace if the power makes it to one of the chips or transistors. If you're lucky it won't, and it means either a fuse or protection diode is bad and needs replacement.

i hope its a fuseable resistor thats blown, those are the easiest to tapair

i suggest you look at this link as well:debugging guide
