Is that outlet is the only circuit on that breaker?

The receiver may not have exceeded its own internal parameters to blow the fuse or enter protection but it (and whatever else is drawing power from its convenience outlets) may have exceeded the rating for your wall breaker.

There is a modest limit on how much extra current-drawing equipment can hang onto the back of this unit. It's probably printed near the outlet(s). Probably 100 watts max.

In general, nothing heavy duty like heaters, amps, vacuum cleaners, TV's should not be plugged into the receiver.

Jandy AquaLink RS - no power
If you have checked the circuit breakers and they appear to be functioning properly, here are a few other things you can try:
  1. Check the GFCI outlet: If the AquaLink RS is plugged into a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) outlet, make sure the outlet hasn't tripped. You can do this by pressing the "reset" button on the outlet.
  2. Check the transformer: The AquaLink RS requires 24 volts AC power to operate. If the transformer that converts your home's AC power to the 24 volts required by the AquaLink RS is faulty, it can cause the system to fail. Use a multimeter to test the transformer to ensure it's supplying the proper voltage.
  3. Check the power supply: If the transformer is supplying the proper voltage but the AquaLink RS is still not receiving power, the power supply board may be faulty. Check the power supply board for any obvious signs of damage, such as bulging or leaking capacitors.
  4. Check the wiring: It's possible that a wire has become loose or disconnected, preventing the AquaLink RS from receiving power. Check all of the wiring connections to make sure they're secure and tight.
If you're still unable to get power to the AquaLink RS, it may be time to call a professional pool technician to diagnose and repair the issue.

Tv won't switch on following power being turned off/on by electrician installing external light
Have you tried different electrical outlets? Maybe the circuit breaker for your particular outlet blew when the electrician turned the power back on. Or maybe the electrician disconnected power to that particular outlet.

Also try leaving tv unplugged for 30 minutes or so, then plugging back in [to a known good outlet] to see if it will turn on.

Receiver keeps going to standby
I don't know about the newer receivers but this sounds like an arching OFF/ON power switch that was a problem on Pioneer receivers years ago. I would bypass the switch and see what happens.

1. Unplug unit from wall.
2. Jumper two wires going to off/on switch using alligator clip with insulated boots on clips.
3. Plug amplifier into disconnected circuit breaker/fuse protected AC strip.
4. Plug AC strip into wall outlet, turn AC strip switch ON and see if problem disappears.

Our Wii console will not power on and there is a disk in it.
Hi,

Follow the directions below to see if this helps. If not, you may need to contact Wii technical support for repairs.

power issues with the Wii can be fixed by resetting the AC adapter. You can easily reset the AC adapter by following these steps:
  1. Unplug the Wii AC adapter at both ends (from the back of the Wii system and from the wall outlet or power strip). acunplug.png
  2. The AC adapter must remain unplugged at both ends for a full 2 minutes.
  3. We also recommend you unplug anything connected to the USB ports and the Nintendo GameCube Controller ports (such as LAN Adapters, keyboards, Nintendo GameCube controllers, etc.).
  4. While you're waiting, check the AC Adapter for the following:
    • Make sure that the word "Wii" and the model number "RVL-002 (USA)" molded into the AC adapter. Unlicensed products are not fully compatible and may not work correctly.
    • Check the AC Adapter for physical damage. Physical damage, such as frayed wiring or a cracked housing can cause the system to shut down. If your AC Adapter shows signs of physical damage and needs to be replaced, you can purchase one from Nintendo's online store.
  5. After you've waited 2 minutes, plug the AC adapter into the Wii system and directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector or power strip. If the power light comes on and stays on, then it appears resetting the AC Adapter worked. If resetting the AC Adapter did not fix your power issues, please continue reading:

    • Avoid the use of unlicensed products such as memory cards, controllers, and cheat devices. Some of these products are poorly manufactured and may result in damage to your system. If one of these products is attached to your system, remove it and try resetting the AC Adapter (see above).
    • Check any accessories that connect to the Nintendo GameCube Controller ports or the USB ports of the Wii -- whether licensed or not -- for physical damage. Physical damage, such as frayed wiring or a cracked housing can cause the system to shut down. Remove any damaged products and try resetting the AC Adapter again (see above).
    • Make sure the Wii has good ventilation. Avoid operating the Wii while it's on carpeting or inside an enclosed space. If you have the Wii placed in a vertical position, make sure the vent on the bottom is lined up properly with the hole in the plastic stand and no foreign material is obstructing that hole.
    • Check the vents on the back and side of the Wii for dust build up. The system will shut down if it cannot vent properly to prevent overheating. If there is a build-up, remove it using a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment.
    • Make sure that your wall outlet works. To check it, try plugging a lamp into the same outlet where your system was plugged in. Turn the lamp on the verify the outlet works. Also, make sure you are not using an outlet that is operated from a wall switch. If you do, make sure the wall switch is in the ON position.
    • Make sure the AC adapter is attached properly. Firmly plug your AC adapter into the back of the Wii (the port is labeled 12V IN) and into a working wall outlet (not a power strip or surge protector). Click here for detailed instructions.
    • Once plugged in, check the power light on the Power button to see if the system is receiving power.

Power does not come on after lightning strike
Check your wall outlets and see if you blew a breaker.(plug something else there and see if it powers that on) If not that I hope you only blew the fuse inside of the receiver. That would be an easy fix. Hope this helps!

Won't power on...
The TV probably has an internal short, most likely in the power supply. If you open it, you will probably find the main fuse is blown (which is why it didn't trip the breaker again. Don't bother replacing the fuse until you find and fix the short - you'll just blow the new fuse and probably trip the breaker again.

Emerson tv lost the ability to power on after a storm
I would probably look at the internal fuse that protects the power supply inside the tv. The storm probably sent a power surge through your outlet, your breaker may not always work correctly, especially if the breaker is old. The fuse should be inline with the hot side of the AC power to the power supply circuit. You would have to open up the tv, but you would be able to spot the fuse very easily. Fuses are cheap, but getting to it may be a problem

Recently, I purchased a 606 A/V receiver. However, there is not power outlet behind the receiver for me to plug in my subwoofer. What is the solution beside spending $$$ on remote control relay?
Try using a surge suppressor with multiple ac outlets-plug it into the ac line jack and plug your equipment in the outlets as needed. This will enable you to protect your equip. at the same time! If you cannot set one locally a a fair price I may be able to help you.George
