Fender Rumble Studio 40 - Loud buzz then no sound

I've owned my Rumble Studio for about 4 months, I've used it for band practice twice (maybe three times) but not for months now and mostly home use at fairly low volume.
Today I turned it on and I got a fairly loud clicking/buzz/hum from the speaker as it powered up and then when the amp was ready to play I got no sound. Power cycled it and the clicking was gone but also no sound through speaker. I get sound when I plug headphones in.

Anyone have this issue? Any idea what caused this?
I've read on here that the Rumbles might not be that reliable...
I'm hoping it will be covered by warranty

Yes, if you bought it new, it should be totally covered by warranty if you contact an Authorized Fender Service Center. Usually great warranty service. You may need the original receipt, or perhaps you registered it on Fender.com when you created your Fender Tone App account to control the amp by Bluetooth.

I've had my Rumble Studio 40 for little less than 2 years without a moment's trouble. Likewise, I've had my Rumble 500 combo nearly 6 years without any problems.

Good luck, king.
