just as title says, i can't get any power to my xenarc, i got it from my cousin and it was working when it was taken out of his car. any tips, hints, tricks, help would be greatly apprectiated

 

eh, might help if you posted more info. ie, Model number, power supplied, is the plug firmly in, etc..
Its like saying my TV don't work, anyone knows whats wrong?

 

Sorry, didn't know u needed all that info i thought they were pretty much all the same
It's the xenarc 700TS,
power supply is DC12V 1A
plug is firmly in
can't visibly see any resistors f'd up or anything, no burning smell while hooking up. just no power

 

are you connecting it to the car or household outlet? Suggest trying the house outlet to see if it turns on. If it does, then the problem could be at the car level. If not, then you need to see if the warranty is still valid.
