Zeppelin speaker not working. Won’t turn on or show any power

Zeppelin speaker not working. Won’t turn on or show any power I have a bowers and Wilkins zeppelin. The led doesn’t come on and it shows no indication of power or audio. The lead is fine as it works with another speaker. I have opened it and noticed some discolouration around one of the ceramic disk capacitors could this be the issue? Everything else looks fine.

"I have a failed zeppelin also.

That capacitor doesn't look too bad.

On mine, the onboard fuse is blown, and at least 3 of the rectifier diodes.

If you have a multimeter check the diodes for short circuit.

There is a bank of for of them on one edge of the board, and another on un the underside of the board covered in heat paste.

Still workling through what else might have gone..."

Mine has a pulsing red light when I plug it in, and a loud hum, then after 10 seconds a click and no more hum, red light flashes fast, manual says system fault, that’s not much help..
