amp I bought 3 days ago not powering on - electrical engineer advice wanted

I bought a used Musical Fidelity A380 in good condition. Played it every day, worked fine.

Today it did not turn on. There were no sign of failure yesterday. Could it be a fuse or power supply?

They specialize in AV repair and did a great job replacing the capacitors in my power supply for a 35 year old Carver. Hope that helps.
