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

@parkergetdean 

If I may - when you speak to your new tech, you may want to confine your comments strictly to symptoms you have observed. There is no better way to antagonize a tech, mechanic, etc. than to regurgitate uninformed Internet advice in front of them. Unless you want them to charge you an extra $100 to test random components armchair experts pointed at.

I think I am perfectly within my lane to tell the tech (humbly and respectfully of course) what I learned. Obviously I am not fixing it, not capable of fixing, have no desire to fix it, etc., I am seeing him to let him fix it. If the tech gets upset, that’s good feedback. I am not his shrink but his customer. 

Let us know how it goes! 🙂

of course 

Don’t let him see how mind bogglingly inept you are!

Try to sound like you have some semblance of a clue..😃
