I have a couple MTH Z-1000 controllers and bricks.  The cord that plugs into a wall socket on one of the bricks seems to have gone bad.  I've compared and tested it against the performance of another Z-1000 and the bad one has no output at all from either the 18V variable power cord that plugs into the controller, nor to the fixed 14V accessory terminals.  The brick doesn't seem to be getting any power from the wall socket - and yes, the circuit breaker is closed.  The good brick works fine using the same testing setup

The power cord of the bad brick doesn't appear to have any visible damage anywhere.  I can change the plug at the end of the cord that goes into the wall socket easy enough, but I don't think the problem is there.  Has anybody opened up one of these Z-1000 bricks?  Could there be a loose connection inside the brick?

Many thanks,

Matt
