2006 1x8 Mini turned on, hummed and then nothing. Replaced tubes with known good ones. Lights up so there is power. Any suggestions before I call the medics?

Check the fuse with a meter just to be sure it's not that. Also make sure the speaker connections are all good.

Speakers good. Tried it with another cab and still nada. Fuse is a pain to get to without removing the baffle and the two screws on the front. I really don't want to start taking things apart but, if I gotta, I will.

Even if the fuse 'looks good' replace it.

This is driving me nuts. How do I get at the fuse? I miss the old 50's and 60's designs with the fuse on the front panel next to the on/off switch.

Finally got that sucker out. Off to Radio Shack for a .5cm x 2cm 1A 250V AGC.

Could be a bad switch , if it's a double pole type. One set of contacts could go bad , the set that activates the pilot lite could be good. It's a stretch , but it's possible. Better check in with the factory.

There is the transformer upgrade available for the Mini so I may just send it in, take care of the upgrade and have Doc's medics check under the hood.

If you're willing to be without for the shipping time, that is the best idea ever.

Just found out that only the newer chassis Mini's can be done, the tranny won't fit in the small chassis frame. Bummer !! Oh well, I'm still gonna send it in and have the Doc give it his once over twice.

Got the RMA number today. The old girl is heading in. I feel like one of my kids is going in for surgery.

She's in good hand. You'll have her back, good as new, before you know it.
