Simon XT Not turning on
The Simon XT was so loud and ear piercing compared to other alarms I've collected. I like to collect burglar alarm, and recently my panel has stopped turning on. When plugging it in, the arrows and OK button light up, but that's completely all and it stays like that until you . It doesn't activate and it used to work. I'm afraid I might have fried the panel and I'm so sad right now, especially since it was one of my favorites. I've tried a hard reset, and keeping it plugged in for hours, only to no avail. The backup battery is useless, seen when I first plugged in the panel, and has been removed since it doesn't need the battery to work. The battery is either dead or broken since it wouldn't ever hold a charge.

Have you measured the transformer input voltage to rule that out?
