McIntosh mp 100 Phone Preamp Problem.... Blinking Red Power Button


Hello all,

 

Appreciate any potential help... I'm a little dismayed... 

I was testing out RCA interconnects on my McIntosh MP 100 preamp, and suddenly the green faceplate starts blinking about every second. After maybe a few minutes of this, just the reg light around the power button blinks about every second. 

 

No more power on! 

 

I looked into the manual, and I didn't find anything that would help. Any suggestions? Did I blow a fuse? Did I somehow kill my McIntosh mp 100 phono preamp?

 

Thanks

Richard

Have you tried this, as explained in the manual:

Reset of Microprocessors
In the unlikely event the controls of the MP100 stop
functioning, the microprocessors can be reset by per-
forming the following:
1. Press and hold in the STANDBY/ON Push-button
until all the Front Panel LEDs start flashing, then
release the STANDBY/ON Push-button.
2. To switch the MP100 back On, press the STAND-
BY/ON Push-button
