Hey guys. I have had my Mark V head for about a year and a half. Other than replacing a couple of bad tubes since I have been using it, I haven't had any issues until a couple weeks ago.
I turned the amp on to warm up for a few minutes when I noticed a "hot" electrical smell and immediately reached over to turn the amp off. Before I could, it lost power completely. I let it cool down and replaced the fuse with a new one and flipped the power switch and nothing happened except that I hear the fan running. I'm not getting any lights or any noise from the amp at all. I've tried other power cables, a complete change of tubes and other new fuses and I'm not getting anything.
I was wondering if any of you guys know what I'm up against here???
I'm guessing it could be anything but I don't know enough to even attempt to find the problem. I think I'm gonna send it off to Mesa regardless (its about 5 months out of warranty - lucky me) so they can go through it.
Thanks,
Tommy
