Problem with BAT VK 3000SE

Dear All,
               I am from India and I am having a Balanced Audio VK3000SE Integrated amplifier.  The amp. goes automatically to MUTE mode after playing for about 30 minutes.  While the sound is completely muted off, the display shows  "FAULT RIGHT".  I am helpless and it is very difficult to get it repaired I will ve very thankful to you if you are helpful to me in fixing this problem.  Thanks a lot.

And if they don’t do it, ask for someone in India they know who is a good audio technician.

 I would take the top off and swap the two tubes.

This would be a good easy first starting point.

And for you info it's ok here because it's solid state output, but never run a tube poweramp without speakers connected, there's a possibility of oscillation which could take out the output transformer/s

Mute or standby?
Hope it’s not inside a cabinet?
If not, check the temp both sides of the top vents with your hands once it’s turned itself off and gone into mute, is one side hotter than the other?
