HELP!!!! Amp fried????

[Sirguy969]

Hello All

I may already know the answer but thought I'd ask just in case there's a simple fix.

After running my Denon AVR 4308 very loudly for a long period of time driving 7 speakers at my house party last night, the auto cut-out activated.....in my inebriated state instead of allowing it time to cool down I just switched it back on again.....I know, I know, ridiculous.

To compound my stupidity I did this on roughly 3 occasions..........surprise, surprise I awoke feeling considerably worse for wear to find that after the night befores abuse that my amp is now refusing to work.........when you first turn it on the power button flashes green before staying lit, but the display is blank and apart form the power light being on nothing else works?

I live in Saudi Arabia and have heard a rumour of a Denon stockist which I will check out today.

My question is really this: will the Denon auto cut out have saved my amp from my stupidity or have I managed to fry my £1500 worth? Is there a way to re-set the auto cut out?

Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved, the 7 hour clean up was bad enough without the thought that I've blown my amp as well!

Many thanks

Cameron.

Isn't Saudi alcohol free? Or do you live in one of those compounds where you're allowed to live a European lifestyle thus causing much resentment amongst the locals?

Whatever, buy another amp, and lay off the demon alcohol for a while!

Tarquinh..........resentment amongst the locals???? They're worse than us!....yes I live on a Western Compound.

Thanks for the advice but was sort of hoping someone else on here has been as daft and has an answer that doesn't invlove more cash!

Ok......new question.....seeing the kit in my sig, what amp would you replace the 4308 with?

Cheers Cameron.

Is it still under guarentee?

If so there is a good chance it will be repaired FOC.

Worth getting an estimate on the cost if not.
