GK Fusion 550 Hybrid Power Button

The power button on my GK Fusion 550 Hybrid sticks and will not turn off. I can press it to turn it on, but the power button will not pop out when I push it again. I can hit the side of the amp a few times and it will eventually come out, but I don't want to do that.... Anyone had this issue with the GK Fusion line??

No I have not, first I have heard of this. Maybe try (with the power cord disconnected) some rubbing alcohol dampened on a rag and push in/wipe off the button. Maybe something sticky got on it?

Did this and it worked great, then went back about 10 minutes later, and it kept sticking.

My mute button did this.
GK replaced the switch, no probs.

I am having the same issue with my Fusion 550 power button. Did you ever find a way to remedy this or did you have to send it out to have another one put in?

Me?
Repaired under warranty, no further problems.
Mine was the MB Fusion 500

I was actually referring to the original poster. He seems to have had/is having the same issue with the same head. I appreciate the response though...
