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

You may want to bring your tech his favorite coffee and donut every morning. Just so he remembers you.  

@devinplombier ,

I believe the conversation went something like this;

I said "maybe a protection circuit?"

He said: "no, if it was that, it would NEVER turn on".

I said: "OK, sounds good, thank you".

He said: "Probably just the power switch. Why didn’t you just fix it yourself?"                

I said: "Because I’m mind bogglingly inept."

He said: "How so?"

I said: "Well, I have to sit down to chew gum and my shoes are Velcro. Laces are hard."          

He said: "I see. Um, what’s that string you’re holding?"

I said: "The other end is attached to my front door so I can find my house."

He said: "OK, then. Tell you what, you bring my favorite coffee and  donut every morning and I’ll be sure to take the cover off July latest."                  

I said: "Fair deal! I better buy more string..."

😃

 

 

 

@thecarpathian that was good 😂🤣

@parkergetdean hope your amp gets fixed and you can enjoy your music 🙂

Next decision - at what price is it not worth fixing...especially since it works fine once you can turn it on...hopefully an easy and relatively inexpensive fix...good luck 

I use paint, not a string. I am not an idiot.

@jl35 he told me the flat/minimum fee. It was not cheap. So yes, I am very nervous about that as well. 

But it's all worth it as long it entertains the Man of the Kárpátok.
