  If your Sherwood Receiver has no power, it could be due to the AC input cord being disconnected. Ensure the cord is securely connected. Another possibility is a poor connection at the AC wall outlet, or the outlet might be dead or off. Check the outlet using a lamp or another appliance to confirm it's working.
