Apple tv 2 no power

DEAD DEAD. No lights, etc. It actually has been unplugged for 2 months. I haven't tried it since because no time. But it was dead when I tried it last. Guess I should try it again.
We had a storm that knocked out some equipment and the apple tv will not turn on. Is there any retest procedure for this thing? No warranty either.
I had the same thing happen and found a tech article from Apple that said to leave it unplugged for 15 minutes then plug it in to your computer and reset it using iTunes. You will need a micro USB cable as I recall and iTunes will detect it if it is salvageable.
Okay it powered up, but fast flashing light. Then I hook it up to iTunes and try to do a restore and get an error 1611. :/
----------
Interesting..unplugging the power and allowing it to pull power over the USB to do the restore fixed the error and it did a restore. :/ Off to test it.

Has anyone had any luck mending this problem?
I have a broken ATV2 with power issues - seems to be a fried power supply.
It is detected fine in itunes and can be restored but no power through power lead (no lights at all).
I have tested power lead in another ATV2 and all works fine.
Does anyone know where I can buy replacement components or of any other solution?
Thanks
