Yep, same results with no speakers or inputs hooked up. Just power to amp

Did you not just turn it on without any speakers connected?

Think you can access the fuses by just getting those wires out of the way. Gently disconnect them if you need to (note some connectors lock in place so you might have to squeeze it in the right spot to get it to release. keep track of where they go so you can put them back (note orientation ... don’t force them back in)

Don't be too hopeful. If it is a fuse, ask yourself what caused it to blow. It could be a problem downstream of the fuse. Maybe you'll replace the fuse only to have it blow again. Keep going though. You can add this to your list of adventures.

Hmm I dunno...it would be tough...perhaps I need a pair of longer tweezers or something to try and remove the fuses. They seem pretty buried down the side

I'll give it a go tho smile

I'll be attacking this tomorrow evening most likely

So hopeful to find a shot fuse or two lol

You need a scope to see down there without taking anything apart.
