Carvin BX500 Blinking

[lukelogandennis]

Hey guys, my BX500 just did something weird. When I went to turn it on. All the lights (input, mute, active, compressor, graphic eq in, and protect started slowly flashing, and a sound was heard through my headphones. It was fine ten minutes ago... I have a gig tonight....

From the manual:

The PROTECT LED indicates one of the protection circuits has activated and no sound will be heard
from the amp. To reset the amp, turn the power off for about 10 seconds, then turn it back ON. If the
PROTECT LED stays lit for more than 5 seconds check your SPEAKER OUTPUT connections, the 2 OHM
switch, or a blocked fan intake

Thanks. Everything seems to be alright at the moment, but I'm borrowing an amp for backup just in case. Or course things start to go wrong on opening night!

Always the way it is.
