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?

The instructions travel downstream that the power is and then it is rejected by another component. two scenarios: 1) turns on, led on volume dial turns red in 8 seconds 2) does not turn on, led on volume dial turns red in 8 seconds
