Likely the switch contact that connects the battery when you remove the adapter is not making contact. This is a common problem. The problem is right at the input power connector. Sometimes you can bend the contact to restore operation... else you have to replace the input power connector.

Where is the fuse located on the marshal amplifier MG series 100 DFX 100

  • fuse on the Marshall MG100DFX amplifier is located on the back panel of the amplifier, near the power cord.
To access the fuse, you will need to follow these steps:
  1. Unplug the amplifier from the power source.
  2. Locate the fuse holder on the back panel, near the power cord.
  3. Use a flathead screwdriver or other similar tool to gently pry open the fuse holder.
  4. Carefully remove the fuse from the holder by pulling it straight out.
  5. Inspect the fuse to see if it is blown or damaged. If the filament inside the fuse is broken or the fuse is discolored, it may be blown.
  6. If the fuse is blown, replace it with a fuse of the same rating. The Marshall MG100DFX amplifier uses a 2A, 250V slow-blow fuse.
  7. Insert the new fuse into the holder and press it down until it clicks into place.
  8. Close the fuse holder by gently pressing it back into place.
Once you have replaced the fuse, plug the amplifier back into the power source and turn it on to see if it is functioning properly. If the amplifier still does not work, you may need to have it serviced by a qualified technician.

Where is the fuse located in the Marshall amplifier mg100dfx

The fuse in a Marshall MG100DFX amplifier is located on the rear panel of the amplifier, near the power cord.
To access the fuse, you will need to unplug the amplifier from the power source, and then locate the fuse holder, which is a small, cylindrical component with a cap that screws off. The fuse holder should be labeled with the appropriate fuse rating for your amplifier.
Once you have located the fuse holder, you can unscrew the cap and remove the old fuse. You can then replace it with a new fuse of the same rating, and screw the cap back on securely.
It's important to note that if your amplifier blows a fuse, it may be an indication of a more serious issue, such as a short circuit or a problem with the power supply. If you replace the fuse and the amplifier continues to blow fuses, it may be necessary to have it serviced by a professional technician.

The amp does not work at all even though the lights on the amp come on but when i connect it to the guitar no sound whatsoevva i checked the sound nobs on the guitar and the amp n all r ok but no soun

Have you checked a different cable?. Also, when you plug in the unit, there should be a "pop" if everything is turned on. If there isn't, the connection is bad someplace.

I bought the amp a few weeks ago and it worked perfectly for a couple of days and then for some reason the controlls just froze. the tap tempo light went out and the channel control light stayed the same...

Exercise your warranty IMMEDIATELY since you just bought it! If you bought this used, you LIKELY bought someone else's problem. The problem is likely in the digital effects area... probably a bad cable contact... but if under warranty DO NOT mess with it... return it for replacement or repair.

Constant buzz. even with no guitar plugged in

This usually indicates that your neutral and live are backwards. Try plugging the unit into a different outlet elsewhere (different room)
If it still is buzzing, look for a GOUND LIFT switch in the back, it may have inadvertantly gotten flipped to the wrong position.

Hi im in Argentina and i accidentally pluged in my amp without an adapter now it doesnt work what needs to be fixd?

The power supply is blown. Argentina is 220V I believe. I have never seen a power supply schematic for this however being that it is low power it is a linear supply not switching. Either the rectifier diodes are blown out or possibly the output capacitors are blow due to approx double voltage. If you try this yourself be careful otherwise get a new amp. Good Luck

I have a marshall avt 100 which was working fine until i plugged new guitar in strummed one chord and the speaker went **** up, so i plugged into another cab and played a while then a week later plugged in...

This is a problem I would recommend for a qualified Marshall amp service person to look at. Worst case scenario is that somehow the speaker out put transformer or the power transformer burned out. They aside from output tubes are the most expensive parts to replace. Add shop labor on top. Ask for an estimate first. Consider how much a new amp will cost and then decide. I would personally go for the repair myself.

Left input for loudspeaker is dead? speakers both work out the left but neither on the right. can I fix it myself? marshall mg250dfx thanks

It sounds like the speaker output jack is broken or it has come unsoldered from the circuit board. You can fix this if you have enough electronics experience but you have to be very careful as components in an amp can carry a lethal charge even after being unplugged. You can partially discharge the capacitors by unplugging your amp from the power source with the speaker plugged into the working jack and set at a low volume while turned on ( not on standby ). If you feel at all uncomfortable attempting the repair yourself you are far better off taking it to a repair shop preferably one with experience with Marshalls. The same is true for other brands as well. Please let me know if this helps.
