   Hi,
Iam providing sound for one of the performances at an arts festival this weekend in Ireland. Yesterday I spent all day working with the sound tech on-site and we set everything up and tested before i finally left for home and at that time, everything was working fine. But now I just received call from the techie says the PKN XE2500 amp is not powering on at all. He said he opened up the amp and checked power going through all of the fuses and it was OK. I asked him to smell the amp for any signs of burning. He said there was none. Powercon cables were swapped with working ones but still, no joy. 

Im not sure what else i could advise him to check that he didnt already. 
Anyone else here might have any other ideas i could suggest? 

Thanking You,
Binnie

	No spare amp on site? That would be the simplest. And Mystic Meg is away on holiday at the moment, so who knows...
