denki109 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Hello BassChatters, I’ve blown a fuse but can’t get to it. The amp has a power input module with an attached fuse box. I’ve had a go at trying to access the fuse that’s bereft of life. But I’m mindful to not force it open. There’s probably a simple knack for negotiating a module like this that’ll make me feel like a right eejit. With that in mind, please be gentle with me. Thanks for your time and patience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Browning Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Small flat blade screwdriver. It may slightly distort the plastic but as long as the fuse seats ok there's nothing to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Use a flat blade screwdriver and it will come out with the right strength applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellzero Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I guess it will work with a thin flat blade screwdriver. Don't we all agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you've seen it done, it works, but to the inexperienced, it's not so evident. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denki109 Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 Thanks everyone for being so helpful and nice about this. I have my flathead screwdriver and (dramatic pause) I'm going in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was doing an outdoor gig with power surges. In addition, this late 1990s amp was still rocking (and then NOT rocking) its original fuse.

denki109 Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 Update: My thumb is still intact. The amp is back from the dead. And I am indebted to my BassChatter brethren and sistren for the support, love and good humour. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
