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?

@mrdecibel I plugged it into other circuits and at the time it worked. But then I plugged it into the same one and worked again. It's more like "it works between 6:30 and 6:45 and does not between 6:45 and 7PM.

So far I have been told to

  • fix it myself
  • stay away from fixing it
  • grow up
  • that I have serious character flaws
  • use a shaman
  • be nice to my repairmen
  • I am cheap
  • be patient
  • ...

I apologize for wasting everybody's time and I am truly grateful for all the help. You stay you and I will be me, never been good about adapting.

If you're enjoying what you are doing, then just keep on...not wasting anyone else's time...kind of like soap opera, checking in a few times a day to see if there is a resolution...

@parkergetdean ,

Don’t forget mind bogglingly inept!

Wait, that falls under character flaws, doesn’t it. Never mind.

Personally, I think this is one of the more interesting threads going.
