[Elecraft] KPA500: Bonehead Input Overload

Major Bonehead here.

 

I accidentally hit the input of my KPA500 with 100 watts SSB for 5-10
seconds.  Now, no output.  I never saw the fault light come on, so it never
asked to be reset.  All the controls/indicators seem normal.

 

Questions:

 

1.	Anything I can try while I wait for Elecraft Repair to get back to
me?  Is there a "factory reset" I should try?
2.	Anybody know how backed up things are at Repair during this virus
thing?  I've sent two e-mails, and it's been a week with no reply.

 

I've had this KPA for nearly seven years, and this is the first problem I've
had.
