I suspect either the power supply rectifier developed a short which would likely blow a fuse till repaired OR the power amplifier chio went bad. Most of the smaller amps use some version of the TDA2050 audio amp chip. It looks like a power tab transistor (TO220 stylle case) with 7 leads.

If it went, it did so for a reason... time for unit to be serviced.

I have a Crate CR212 it started to hum/buzz today. It would not play out any sounds other than the noise. I unplugged everything and still it hummed. I unplugged the unit, check the fuse and replugged and...

Are all the tubes lighting up? they should glow like dim light bulbs. If not, replace them with the same model type (12ax7, or EL34 for example).

Often there are two fuses, one to protect the speaker and another to protect everything, it sounds like the latter fuse may be burned out. take it out and take it to radio Shack for exact replacement.

You take it in for electronic repair. Unless you are electronically adept at troubleshooting and repair this is not DIY. Probably one side of the PA transistors has shorted. You can blow the speaker if you keep trying to use it this way.

My Marshall Haze 40 Amp started making a very loud humming noise after a couple hours of playing.I let it cool down,and turned it back on and the noise came back after a few minutes

may be one of the electrolytic capacitors in the power supply has become leaky...this is a common problem among amplifiers...so you let it cool down..then after a period of time the capacitor heats up and then causes the hum...the power supply caps filter out the 60 hertz ac line noise...which is probably the frequency of the sound it is making...this is a good indication of these caps going bad....another thing you can check is to see if the amp is properly grounded(eg: the ground pin on the plug is present) and that you dont have an open cord or input

Have an older Lowrey organ with loud hum.

Of course it is repairable.

Find a competent repair person. You did not describe the "noise". If it is 60 cycle hum, the filter caps need replacing. If it is an organ tone, then probably a key contact is stuck.

On power up there is a loud humming even with volume at 0

I would also be inclined to check all the larger electrolytic capacitors in the power circuits as well for AC bleed.

No Volume oe sound coming out of speakers

try connecting speakers to another sound source or if you have access to a ohm meter, check impedance of speakers, should measure 4~8 ohms.
