Pass Labs xa30.8 died

Just curious, did you check the outlet for power?

There could also be rail fuses. But, you need to open up the case.
First contact Pass to get the dope from the horse's mouth.

I recently purchased an HPA-1 that was a dealer demo. When it arrived it would not power up. I went through the obvious stuff. Power source, power cable, it has an accessible fuse holder on the rear panel. All good. I found a forum thread that said this model has experienced issues with a ribbon connector. I copied it here:


“Thanks Thorensman, appreciate the suggestions. I got in touch with Pass Labs and they suggested that sometimes in transport the ribbon connecting the circuit board to the main panel comes undone. Sure enough when I opened it up, the ribbon had come loose. 3 mins later and all good! Glad it was an easy fix.”


Mine had basically the same issue. The connector wasn’t visibly disconnected, but I did reseat it and solved the problem. I realize your circumstances and gear are different, however it is something you could look at while you wait to get in touch with support. Good luck.

Praying for your boy tonight!  If he don’t make it, I’ll blast some raw blues for you...
