This is a too-common shipping fail for the PGXL. However, for most hams, it is usually an easy field fix. The standard caveat of making sure you disconnect the amplifier from AC power also applies. If for any reason you find stripped screws or cannot loosen and slide the power supply back into its socket, the amp will need to be returned.
The brackets that hold the power supply in place have been redesigned and we are awaiting a shipment to send out to all PGXL owners.

Maybe Flex needs to add an UPS driver to the alpha team for shock impact testing.
1) Inspected for any physical damage.
2) Bench-tested to ensure each meets acceptance specifications.
3) Repackaged for shipment to customers.
These tests are in addition to those performed at the factory
Best,

Looks like 4O3A/Flex redesigned the bracket that failed and will also send them to all buyers per Dan’s first post. Haven’t seen any postings of shipping-related damage issues other than the bracket.
