I have the dock disassembled.....nothing looks too crazy out of the ordinary. I used a multimeter on many points to check continuity. The power jack does report connection in the multimeter... I plugged it in and tested the current. My original NEC adapter seems to be putting out 18 volts. It states 11 on rhe adapter...maybe my plug is bad? Anybody know of a disassembly guide or know of a list of known issues? I cant believe i could not find anything about repairing the dock....maybe im searching for the wrong thing...

Check that both power switches work. Meaning the one on the front of the unit and the one under where the CD drive sits. Both have to be switched on for it to work.

Ok...I think it is the main power switch but unsure. I think I need further guidance on this. Just as an FYI: I am just starting to get into electronic repair and whatnot so I may be making obvious mistakes or say things I believe to be correct that are not.  PLEASE CORRECT ME.  I want to learn this stuff.  Here is why I believe it to be the main power switch(located in the front of the dock).  When i check continuity going from the board through the switch in the "ON" position, it does not seem to get back to the board. I tested voltage going to the port on the main PCB, one pin has voltage going to it(Orange wire).  It gets to the switch but whether the switch is in the "ON" or "OFF" position, the continuity does not follow back to the main PCB through to the other 2 pins(Brown and Red wires). Also, The metal mesh connecting the metal shields together throughout the enclosure needed to be cut for me to fully disassemble the dock. For conductivity, should I re-solder these back together(see pic)? Thanks again for the help :)
