GS605AV replacement

A GS105 or GS305 should be given a try. There just non mangaged switches and would work well in general Home Theater system. I use a GS316 and GS308s in my HT system.
Now it will not power up.
50-50 joker: Give a different power supply a try. The crux is that 7.5V DC power supply (with at least 1.0A DC out) are a rare species.
Schumaku:
I suspect you are right about the power supply being the culprit but I didn’t have any 7.5 volt power supplies to test. Also, I later discovered that my U-verse receiver/DVR (Model VIP2250 ?), which was plugged into the next outlet of the same surge-protected power strip, failed at the same time as the GS605AV. Thus I suspected a power surge might have overwhelmed the surge-protected power strip and impacted both units, and didn’t want to buy an unknown power supply only to discover the switch was damaged. Hopefully the other units on that power strip are OK. So far no new problems.
