Thermistors change resistance as temp increases so that would explain having to let it cool down to get that current inrush protection circuit working correctly again. Again, should be easy to fix for a decent tech.

@westcoastaudiophile sounds like it’s VERY not simple. I will open it now @seasidelps "decent tech" - not too many around |
@parkergetdean please remember, as there are many type of fuses, slow/fast/etc. before replacing “bad one”! simple $1 DMM check for resistance across fuse is simple step to avoid “pissing wrong tree” LOL! |
Checking your fuses is a waste of time, just like most of the other suggestions made so far. If you want to learn how to fix your own gear - more power to you! I highly recommend it, but it sounds like you’d be starting from scratch and there’s a learning curve. If you choose that route, sites specializing in DIY audio will be great resources with a lot of guys who actually know what they’re talking about. If that’s not your goal, that’s fine too. There must be a few great techs in the greater LA area!

@devinplombier I want to learn to fix it myself but I know my limits. If I learn to fix things I should do it on gear that has little value. There are a few techs I know in a 20 mile radius, one of them is good but they had never done a thing under $300. So I have 300 reasons to open it and at least scratch my head. |
