Glad it is fixed(USA), sorted(UK).
I guess we all panic when something goes wrong but the rule is try all the simple obvious 'fixes first(battery, leads) then looks at the components and if they are secure. I knew one guy who was about to strip his amp down when I pointed out that maybe the fuse or loose wire in the mains plug..it was a loose wire!
Beer..please do..a favourite pastime of mine
