Acoustic B200 Flickering Power Light

Hello All,

I've been playing on my Acoustic B200 since last December (2010) and its been working great. It still sounds just as good as it has been sounding, but I noticed today that my power light is flickering constantly with no apparent pattern. It flickers even when nothing is plugged into it. Keep in mind this is not the same as the clip light (which is not flashing since I'm playing at a reasonable gain/volume). Like I said, I can't think of any obvious reason for the light to be flickering except for a loose connection to the light. I just want to make sure this isn't something more serious. Thanks in advance!!
 
I have the B20, It has been a great practice amp for about 2 years now. I also I have a problem with it. The power switch quit working a long time ago so I plug it in when I need it and unplug it when I don't.
You have to remember these are not the best of amps, that is why they are so cheap!!! To me it sounds like a loose wire(much like my power switch) I wouldn't worry about it, the amp still works right and probably will continue to do so, it just a light, don't sweat it :)

besides if it was losing power you WOULD know it.
