Yeah i know, but hey i'm a nice guy. Do a cont test, and see, it it is the fuse i have some spares, and depending where you are could have a look at it, but either way do the cont check and then we will know for sure that it can be fixed.

Right I've tested continuity in the threefuses in question and they all seem to be fine.
I've packed the mainboard up and will be shipping it off for repair tomorrow...

Right I had a play with the jumpers.
With all the blue ones removed (they are the ones nearest the power socket) I get no clicking and no flashing LED
With the 2 x 6v jumpers in place but the one 3v jumper removed, I get the clicking but the blue USB LED on the rear flashes rather than the blue LED on the front.
With the single 3v jumper in place but the 2 6v jumpers removed I get the clicking but no LED's flashing.
Did this player ever come back to life again? I'm afraid I'm not asking out of the usual Empeg attentiveness to customers, but because my own car-player, 80000211, has just gone down with exactly this problem. It was plugged-in and sleeping quietly upstairs, I unplugged it and took it downstairs and plugged it in, and it started with the tick, tick, tick problem.
I've removed the main board, and fiddled with the jumpers, and got exactly the same results you did above. No foreign bodies are anywhere in evidence

Try unplugging the display board connector - maybe it's the 60v supply that has gone?

It still does it even with an uncased, diskless, displayless mainboard. Removing loose screws or crap from under the board I could just-about have dealt with myself, but at this point it's definitely time for this player to seek the Schofield...

Heh, I know how much you enjoy tinkering with car-players, and I was toying with the idea of sending it over with the boy Neil at the end of the month. But Rob's local, so that just seemed more sensible  and besides, he's got all the spares now -- Lucie rescued the last box of chips and what-not from the skip the other day, and we handed them to Rob.

RobS is in Cambridge. He's still doing support, when he gets time.

If it really is the same problem, try a different power supply. That's all that was wrong with mine.

12-15V, at least 1amp, yes. More than 1 amp would also be fine. (The FAQ goes into more detail but that's basically it.)
