JD-800 died...

JD-800 died...

2001-03-11 by wiredogwiredog@yahoo.com

Hello,

I had my JD-800 quit dead today.
Absolutely dead, nothing happens at power on...
I'm thinking a power supply problem....
Are these easy to fix/replace?
I'm thinking a cold solder crack, possibly...or worst case,
can a "generic" "RadioShack" AC/DC power supply of the same rating
be a safe substitute?  (or is there such a thing as "power supply 
standard sizes"...

Any help, advice, info, web resources, etc.. would be greatly 
appreciated.

*eventhough the JD isn't in any way "vintage", I figured an 
electrical problem like this was something they had in common...
