Yamaha AV Receiver RX-A760 Not Turning On Currently

[pelt10]

Hello,

Last night we were watching a movie and during the storms the TV and receiver shut off. I honestly do not think we lost power but seemed like there was some kind of surge. Both TV and Receiver are plugged into a surge protector. The TV came back on and the cable reset. However, the Receiver will not turn back on. It is a Yamaha AV Receiver RX-A760. If I remember I purchased it back in 2017.

Here is what I tried, but nothing has worked:

1. I unplugged the power cord from the back of the Receiver for 1-hour + and once plugging back in, power still did not come on.
2. I tried to do a hard reset which I have performed in the past on this unit. Pressing and holding the “Straight” button while holding the “Main Zone” button. Tried this several times and nothing. I believe this was how to to a hard reset, but if not, please let me know.
3. I unplugged the Receiver from the surge protector and plugged it back in. Still nothing, but TV and others are working out of same outlet/surge protector.

There is a red light lit next to the “Main Zone” button, but that is all. It flashes, but when I try the hard reset it stays solid.

I know someone that might be able to service the receiver to see what might be wrong, but wanted to check here on any other thoughts?

Thanks,
Matt

I suspect it has been wrecked by surge. Those surge strips are useless. Bring your homes surge protection up to NEC 24.
Have your receiver looked at, but damage is likely severe.
