Members Scarlet_Worm Posted July 19, 2008 Members Share Posted July 19, 2008 if it doesn't turn on at all, its just a fuse 90% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JesterRace51 Posted July 19, 2008 Members Share Posted July 19, 2008 You're not getting any power at all? I.E The standby light won't even turn on? I can think of 3 things... Bad power cableBad fuseBad solder contact on the circuit board for the power input. I had this same problem with mine. Just wouldn't turn on at all. Completely dead. Fuse was fine. Tubes were fine. I pulled the chassis out and started taking a look around, and found one of the worst solder jobs I've ever seen. I had to fix a contact strip, and it fired up again.

Members Agreed Posted July 19, 2008 Members Share Posted July 19, 2008 If it's anything serious, remember that Peavey has a 5-year warranty so if he's the original owner he's covered. VKs aren't 5 years old. Edit: Second reminder - don't {censored} around inside it because you'll probably void the warranty. If it's anything more serious than fuse(s) and tube(s), call 'em and take advantage of their great warranty service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Agreed Posted July 20, 2008 Members Share Posted July 20, 2008 May not be on all models, though - you'd have to read the documentation. I was surprised when I bought my Windsor head on m-m-m-megaclearance for $180, got home and one of the things attached to it was detailing the 5-year warranty. Thanks, Peavey.

Members JesterRace51 Posted July 20, 2008 Members Share Posted July 20, 2008 did u just have to resolder things or what was the proccess involved? All I had to do was flow a bit of solder on the board. It was just specks. The only reason I did this was because I was not the original owner of the amp, so the warranty was void, and had to take matters into my own hands. I just went around checking for continuity until I found the culprit. If your amp is still under warranty. Contact Peavey and they'll let you know where to send it.
