Topic: N'ville 112 didn't turn on |

Hi folks. Got to the gig way early, set up steel and stuff--and my trusty reliable Nashville 112 wouldn't turn on. No light. No sound.
My first guess (not an electronics guy) is the fuse. Where is the fuse? Where the power cord goes into the chassis? The operating manual doesn't say.
And is it indeed a 5A fuse? Can I change it myself?
Anything else you can think of? It's worked great for years.
(BTW the bass player had by chance brought a small bass amp + speaker cab . . . so I was able to play the gig!) |

Had the same problem. The removable power cord had slipped down just enough to not make conatact.

Clyde, I sort of pushed and wiggled the power cord plug that goes into the amp.
Now that I have it at home, I'll be able to check it better. All my Peaveys have been super-reliable . . . . |

| Chris..Been a while since I have removed the chassis from the cabinet on my '112' so do not recall, but there may be an internal fuse present. |

Remove chassis. My 112 has a fuse on the board that snaps/clips on. Glass fuse so you should be able to do a visible check.

| Thanks, Howard (and David)! Sounds easier than I thought/feared. I am not a tech guy--simply playing steel takes all my attention. |

OK, I dropped the chassis and located the fuse. I pulled it out: 4A, 250 V, right?
It looks like ceramic and looks fine. No discoloration, not broken, etc. Could it still be a burned-out fuse?
Or is it time to send the chassis back to Peavey (Or find a good local guy)?
Thanks for all your help! As I said, I have had nothing but perfect operation from Peavey amps (though I broke off a knob on this one before getting a knob guard. |

| Yes, the fuse could still be bad. (Porcelain fuses give no visual indication when they blow, like glass or plastic fuses do.) |

You can check the fuse with a volt-ohm meter -- on the "resistance" or ohms setting, it should show very low resistance (less than an ohm) -- if it shows very high or infinity ohms, it's no good. Replacing it would be good, although if there was a problem that blew it, it will just blow again -- but then you know you have a hard issue. It would be good to have a couple extra fuses around. Some fuses fail due to age, by the way.

Post operation report:
Turns out my power cable was bad! My techie said that was weird.
So I now have a new power cable; a new presence pot; and I have found a good, prompt, communicative electronics guy.
Anybody else ever have a power cable go out? |
