Helppppp! Fender amp just blinking

[drewphishesp]

so i had a hair dryer plugged into the same outlet bc i was working on some heat shrink wire. I went to turn on my rumble 100 and it didnt turn on. The power light is just blinking red. Did I blow a fuse? How do I fix?

Call Fender. Chances are that you are going to have send it to an authorized Fender Service Center.

For real? No way theres no reset button the hair dryer wasnt even on

Try a different outlet.

Are you handy and confident with hand tools? Open 'er up, unless it's still under warranty (in that case.. don't do anything). Yes, that Fender will be "fused".

Try a different outlet.

And make sure the power cord is plugged in good and tight on the back of the amp.

Did a quick search in the interwebz. Not looking good. Turns out in most cases Fender replaced the amp because it was failure of the amp if some sort. That was for newer ones in most cases. Not sure how old your amp is.

Newer v3 rumble 100. Cant find anything online about it at all

Sell it and use the money for a Mesa Boogie Subway D800+

Call Fender support and ask them what to do and where to take it in your area.

I'm just guessing, but I think if the amp is blinking at very regular intervals, (steady blinks) the Rumble's switching power supply may not be providing the DC voltages required by the amps various circuits. Do you feel excessive heat anywhere on the black metal chassis? If you turn up the volume do you hear a slight hiss from the speaker? BTW, you are not referring to the led indicator near the overdrive over ride are you? I think that one is normal to blink if over ride is activated. Let us know.

no, the O/D light doesn't blink, it's solid

Fabulous Public Service, @Killed_by_Death Since you live in Philadelphia @drewphishes, that's where you need to go.

 

[drewphishesp]

They were both blinking even w no power connected to amp. Flipped my circuit breaker in house and ok now

 

[Killed_by_Death]

when all else fails, reset the power

What?! Some people shouldn't be allowed to have electricity.

That sounds... weird. The breaker for the particular circuit or the main breaker? Maybe I'm not fully informed (usually the case) but if the breaker was tripped, would there not have been a light at all?
