Bob,

Thanks for the great information! I'm off to get some dessicants now.

Simon, were there any symptoms that preceded this failure?

Someone may already have mentioned this, but I am sure your equipment insurance will cover the repair, less the deductible of course.

If it does not I would switch carriers.

I have had a few similar problems and the insurance payed for all of them.

What kind of policy do you have?

Olof Ekbergh · December 4th, 2009, 05:29 PM

I have a business liability, studio premise and equipment , location equipment rider package from MMG, it even covers Canada, Mexico and Europe, and with a phone call any other country usually at no additional cost.

We pay several thousands for this policy but we have a lot of equipment and exposure and it is really worth the cost.

Even a home owner policy will cover equipment if you are using equipment for a hobby. If you are in business you should have liability and equipment policy, in my opinion.
