Dead KAT500?

[Elecraft mailing list]

 I was careless when plugging in the 12V DC power to the rear of my KAT500 tuner and got a small spark when the DC power plug touched the tuner chassis.
Now, the tuner wont power on but the two red LEDs on the far right side light up (#3 and Fault) when 12V DC is properly plugged in.
Does this indicate a dead KAT500?  Is there anyway to recover without sending it in for repair?
Thanks,
Paul N6PSE

Can you talk to the tuner with the usb cable?  You might just have
scrambled the programming.
