Hi. I had the same problem, and changing the SS14 diode solved it, fyi.
Most likely the device has been incorrectly powered. The most easy way to check this is the following:
- unscrew the 4 screws on the RC-3 bottom
- slide the board out from the connectors holes
- gently detach all the connectors and wires coming to the board
- locate the schottky diode (SS14) close to the power input connector
- check if the diode is short
- replace the diode if it is
- if this does not solve the problem probably also the capacitors in the power section are shorted.
