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?

EE's unfortunately can't troubleshoot. They only design systems. They aren't trained to get out in the field and physically troubleshoot.

Do you have a sleeping bag? Let's start a GoFundMe to keep @parkergetdean in Thunderbird and Night Train!
