Even if it is DOA, it doesn't matter as the support team will simply repair it. Since the product has been EOL'ed, the only recourse for a DOA player is repair.

It has home connections and should have been shipped with a home power adapter (if you don't have a home power adapter, call support and they'll send you one), so that's a valid test.

There was another thread asking this exact same question recently. Does anyone have the link to that thread handy? He can read through that one for more details.
