    Hi, if you are comfortable doing so, there are points on the Power Distribution PCB you can measure. They will be labeled 13.7v, 12v, and 5v. Where the labeled points are, there are two regulators under the PCB and is what you are actually measuring. The points on the regulators come up through the holes in the Power Distr PCB. For example if you measure 13.7v but do not get anything at the two 12v points, it is possible the regulator is faulty. If you do not get the 12v, you can power down the console and remove the cables from the end of the Power Distr PCB and power up and measure again. If the 12v is now there, there may be something downstream causing the problem. If not the regulator may be the problem.

    If all power is ok, the 12v LED may just be faulty and the problem may be with the Front Panel PCB or cabling or even the Processor PCB, although the power is definitely a possibility if the Front Panel is only getting 5v for example.
