Hi Problem with my mag 2000 at last gig has anybody come across this kind of problem before
turned it on waited for it to warm up .. about 10 mins came back to it its stone cold
look on rear make sure its turned on etc
power is on Led on removable control panel is on but power Led on unit is flashing,Red heat Led is not on
( green ready only comes on when ok to go )
took the covers off to press reset on thermal trip also checked fuse all ok ( although i think thermal switch needs a look at too make sure ) turned off turned on and it started to work Two steady Red Led on back power and heat let it warm up ok tested output all ok .
relocated machine then it would not work again same fault
took it home set it up this morning its working straight out of the box (bouncing around in van prob )
so im thinking a dry solder joint or bad connection somwhere
has anybody else had this happen .....??
when its working it great peice of kit
Thanks Rich

If I remember rightly there is 2 triacs on the PCB inside, one controls the heater, the other the pump. Would be worth checking those for dry joints. Whatever you do dont touch the heatsink, its live when the machine is powered up!
I used to have one of these machines, may have some parts left somewhere.
