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!

Just in case anyone searches up this old thread; my Primare I32 goes into some sort of protection state when I unplug/re-plug it too many times in a short while. I have to leave it unplugged for about a minute and then re-try.

1) Always turn the power off at the back of the amp before plugging/unplugging anything on the unit.
2) When the thing acts up, turn it off at the back and unplug it from the outlet and let it sit for a while.
This has fixed everything for me. If I run into anything that won't resolve my next step is Randy Vikan at Audio Elite. He has a great reputation.
As far as switching to a Sansui, I think my ears would puke. I mean that in the nicest way possible.
