Crate 100 head. Reverb doesn't work.
Check the input RCA plug going into the reverb tank (silver box with two wires connected to it). Make sure the amp is off when you do this. Sounds like the output is working fine if hitting the amp does it.

Crate amp blew a house fuse and stopped working
When a piece of equipment causes a fuse to blow or a breaker to trip, it normally means something in the equipment's circuit was shorted. Either because of heat, moisture, a loose screw, loose wire, loose part, a bug, etc. For safety reasons, don't plug it back in and take it to a repair shop.
Hope this helps!

Crate V16 1X12 Palomino loses power, guitarist robbed of fame
Start easy. You could have a bad power switch. Do you get any kind of indication of any life at all, like tube filiments or front panel indicators? If the fuse is blown you have a fault that is drawing excess current, in which case you can check the rectifiers that create your bias voltages, yank the output tubes to see if they have an internal short, less likely would be a shorted filter capacitor (although I have seen it). You could also have a bias problem on the output tubes that causes them to draw excess current and likely makes the tube(s) glow bright red before popping the fuse. If this is the case, look for shorted or leaky coupling capacitors and burned bias resistors, or maybe just a tube with internal shorts, and you will likely have junk tubes as a bonus (they don't take kindly to glowing bright red- meaning a glow that is far more intense than the soft glow of the filiments). If the fix gets more involved than all of this, give me your email addy and we can get hard core.

Bugera v5
This is a common problem with Bugera. And, unfortunately they are made by Behringer who is known to have the worst customer service of all and do not follow through on their warranties.

Zoom MRS 1608 will not power on
I suggest checking to make sure those 2 units can actually use the same adapter and also check the polarity on both to see if they are the same. Most stompbox stuff usually has negative on the center of the socket, instead of positive like other devices. If I spend a little time I could find the manuals and find out for myself but, this was my logical "top of my mind" kind of advice. Those values (volts,mA, and polarity) must be known in order to help you further. I believe it will be 9v, a few 100 mA's, and negative in the center on both but, not sure.

Baldwin pianovelle ps2500 my piano turns on but speakers don't sound can someone give a hint to solve this problem
So I got a used one of these for free because it had the same issue.
I read about battery failure, so I opened up the piano and sure enough the battery had corroded. I also read that the battery is only necessary for the memory feature, which I don’t care too much about. I pulled out the board (super easy to do, no screws or anything, it just pops out) and took it a local electronics/tv repair guy. In about a half hour he took off the battery, fixed a bad trace on the board with a quick solder, and handed it back. $40.
Plugged it back in, bam works like a charm.
As long as there wasn’t too much damage from corrosion, a repair guy should easily be able to do what I described.
I hope this solves your (and anyone else’s) problem!
