TX-SR805 three clicks upon plugging in; Power/Standby light blinks

Picked up a used TX-SR805, and upon plugging it into AC power for the first time, I can't get it to power up. I hear a continuous series of three "clicks," and it sounds like they're coming from just in front of the place where the power cord plugs into the back. Also, the Power/Standby light flashes on and off. The front panel display doesn't light up at all. Sounds like a problem, but I wanted to make sure of one thing: Does the receiver need to have a speaker load before it will come on? I haven't hooked anything up to it yet; I was trying to confirm it was working first. Thanks.

It appears that there may be a problem with this unit. Where did you purchase it?

I was fairly certain there was a problem. I tried the factory-default reset, a different, higher-amperage outlet, etc. Bought it used, and supposedly in full working condition, from eBay. They have a 45-day coverage for such things. I'm working with the seller to resolve.

We are glad you are looking into away to resolve the issue. If you have any other question please ask.
