Proceed AVP just stopped working-fuse is fine-PLEASE HELP!

I just picked up the preamp and absolutely love it! But last night I turned it on and I thought I saw the display light up for a split second(?) and no power! I removed the cover and found a small glass fuse on the left rear of the unit and checked win my ohm meter and itโ€™s fine. I want to cry! Any ideas out there folks? I know they are out of business now and just hoping any one has come across my situation. Thanks in advance everyone! Dave

Hello: I can Help you: There are 2 fuses. You cannot see the 2nd fuse because its hidden under 1 of the boards: If there is no power at all, it is most likely that fuse. I had the same 1 blow a few years ago. The bad news is that you have to remove a couple of boards to get access to the second fuse and its a little tricky. I would replace both and you should be good to go. My avp is 20 years and still going.

Sure enough...it was the inner fuse that was blown!..thanks for sending me in the right direction!..itโ€™s ย a 250v fuse I believe(I swapped the outer one with the inner and jumped the fuse and it powered up! JB YOU ARE THE MAN!๐Ÿ‘

I was able to pop it out with tweezers rather than remove the board..๐Ÿ˜Ž

Hey there...FYI, fuse blew after a few minutes so I swapped out the fuse, and that one blew after turning it on so I think I have bigger problems!
