Why did my amp just crash and burn ?


I just installed a new set of AQ Robin Hood Zero cables. A little hiss sound from the speakers prompted me to adjust the spade connecters just a little on the amp. Then low and behold , the amp just cuts off and currently appears dead as a doornail. 

What just happened and needless to say this is an absolute bummer.

Hopefully it is just a blown fuse.

However the hissing sound may be a symptom of a larger problem.  It could also be just a coincidence it coincided with the cable swap.

I can elaborate more, if a fuse swap doesn't fix the problem.

 

 

Well, was the main fuse blown.

If not , then there is a other issue. Do not attempt to fix it yourself.

Just getting the chassis open is difficult, and there's nothing you can repair yourself unless you are experienced in such things.
