To silence it I took it apart. As I was unsure where the speaker was I plugged it in to listen. While twisting an input knob the control board shifted and made contact with the frame. My guess is that this created a short as I heard a fuse snap and the unit went dark. Now I need to find and replace the fuse. Then find and remove the speaker. I have no idea where the fuse is, my guess for the speaker is the round black element on the control board labeled BZ?

Yes it makes noise. I hope your boards survived. Follow the power cord coming in. One side should have a fuse holder on it. Always replace the fuse with the same type and amperage.

Then out the drain of the switching voltage regulator. However, much simpler is the fact that I tripped the GFCI on the wall power outlet. After a re-set it now powers on.
