Peavey 5150 doesn't power on

[topsoul182]

Yesterday I used my 5150 with no issues at all. I unplugged the amp when I was done. Today I plugged it in hit the power switch and nothing happened. The power light or standby light doesn't turn on and the tubes do not light up either.

I removed the outer 2 power tubes about 8 months ago and haven't had any issues with the amp at all until now.

If it isn't the fuse take it to a tech.

Also the fuse on the outside is covered by white so I cant even tell if its blown. Can I get those fuses at a hardware store or a music shop?

If the fuses are blown you can get them just about anywhere. I know I went to radioshack the last time I had to replace fuses.

If the main fuse on the back of the amp ISNT gone, If you can be sure that the voltage inside the amp is drained first....
please for the love of god...


There is another fuse on the main PCB inside the amp.

5150 circuit bleeds itself. Still gotta be careful.

You can use a multimeter to check if it's good or not. Set it to the continuity test and touch probes to either end of fuse, if there's any resistance it's bad.
