Bass head shut off and won't turn back on

I was playing with a friend the other night and all of a sudden my head turned off and it won't turn back on. I tried different outlets and a different power cable and I can't get it to come back on. Is it a blown fuse or something else? Its an Acoustic B200H head

Thanks
 
Next to the power plug socket on the amp is there an output fuse? Check that.
A fuse next to the AC inlet will be an AC line fuse not an output fuse. Generally when these fail it indicates serious damage to the amp. When avtech replaces this fuse, they will power the amp up on a current limited supply to minimize additional damage if there is a remaining fault.

Check the obvious things like the line cord being fully inserted into the IEC socket, and that the power source is good. Otherwise it's likely that the amp may need service.
