Problem with Primare I32 Amp

I recently bought a Primare I32 integrated amp from an Audiogon seller.  It worked great for a few months, but now I cannot get it to produce any sound at all.  
The warm-up sequence of the amp is normal, and I have checked everything I can think of from cables to source and nothing works.  
I had been listening to it last night without any issues but this morning when I went to listen to some music the sound was silent.  
Anyone have suggestions for me?  I did send emails to Primare and their U.S. distributor so hopefully I will hear back soon.  
Thanks!

I don't know what part of the country you're in, but I had to have a Primare SP 31 processor-preamp rebuilt. I sent it to Randy Vikan at Audio Elite in Western Washington state. He's also a factory authorized tech for McIntosh. He does a good job, and doesn't charge outrageous prices.

Hope things works out for you.

Switch to vintage receivers and integrated amps:

Sansui G9000, Pioneer SX 1980...1280...1080, 
Sansui AU317...

These units have schematics accessible for free and are serviceable if break.
Modern high end stuff isn't or at least it would be more than arm/leg to ship around for dealer or manufacturer repair.

Thanks all.  I did test the fuse and it tested good.  
I'm sending it in to Audio Elite today for repair.  They are the authorized repair center for Primare and they have been very helpful and attentive so far.  

Cheers,

Peter

Did you find out what the problem was?  My Primare preamp just started having the same problem.
