I bought a Kenwood VR-405 off of craigslist today. The seller waited until I got to his house to tell me that the unit had been dropped earlier this morning, but it "worked for 5 years without problems."
Well, I get home and it won't power on. The standby light is not lit when the unit is plugged in.
I opened it up and found the fuse, which appeared to be not broken (although I am not totally sure). Is there something obvious that could be easily broken if dropped? Is this a power supply issue? Other than that, I really don't know what to do in order to possibly fix this thing. I have e-mailed the seller so maybe he can help with the repair costs.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

I'd try to get your money back if you can... I can't think of anything in particular that would be damaged by a drop, but if it's already not working, that is a bad sign.

That's the advice I got on another forum as well. They said it could be anything that is broken and for the unit that I am working with, it's not worth fixing.
I contacted the seller and he said that he would gladly take it back for a refund. Looks like that is what I am going to do.
