Ok, well I went ahead and bought some new fuses, same amp and volt value as was the original fuse that blew and the new one blew also. So I guess I'm going to have to take her to the doctor which I will be doing first thing tomorrow.

Ok thanks Mats, I appreciate it.

Well everyone, I did a little investigating and I found something. My mains fuse is blown, could this be the cause of my problem? Am I correct in assuming that the mains fuse supplies the power for the mains plug/cord connection? Which would cause everything else not to work since the amp is not get...
