Hi Pete and Gang,

I'll do my best to assist while JB/Martin are away. You have an M400 ?
Check all fuses. If a fuse did open, chances are something more serious
occured in the power-pack. Hopefully not........

Also,open the preamp box under ctrl.panel and make sure both little
boards are firmly in place (WME289 and WME290) .

Any background hiss/hum in the audio (at max.volume), or dead-silence ??

Have a look and let us know, Pete.  Good Luck !  -- Jerry Korb
