[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter Repairs?

[gharris999]

Anyone know where one can get a Transporter repaired in 2017? The
problem doesn't seem to be user-serviceable (like the fuse or wifi
card), alas.

what are the symptoms? Several of us have had wacky performance and it
turned out to be a really cheap plug-in internal powersupply.

Other symptoms of faulty PSU are the display flickering or not working
and unit not turning on.
