I have a Marshall G100R CD Amp, and I appear to have blown one or more fuses. My question is what is the best, and easiest way to gain access to the fuses in my amplifier?

You said, the best and easiest way.
Since a blown fuse indicates a short, your amp will blow as many fuses as you put in it, until you remove the short.
If it appears that you blew fuses, the main amp would appear to be the cause of the short. The best and easiest way to solve the problem is to take it to the Marshall dealer or an electronics repair shop. In the future, do not connect or disconnect speakers with the power turned on, and don't connect more speakers than the manufacturer recommends. The AC input fuse is inside, very near the end of the AC cord. If the glass is discolored, the fuse link inside the little fuse exploded. If it went out that violently and you replace it without repairing the short, you will get to see it blow again. The reason the fuse is inside is because in the brief second that it takes for the fuse to go out additional damage can be done in the world of solid state electronics. That's since 1972,

SOURCE: power does not turn on for a marshall avt150h amp.

If the fuse blew for a reason, replacement MAY do further damage.

The way to test is to put a 150 watt light bulb in series with one of the power input wires and replace the fuse. The lamp will limit the current so further damage would not be done.

If lamp stays off and unit works, you are good to go. If lamp stays on, then service is required.

SOURCE: I have a Marshall guitar amplifier model MG50DFX,

I have the same problem. It would appear that this particular series of Marshall amps have a "bug" in them. There are at least 10 other MG50DFX owners, some here at Fixya, others at Harmony Central that have the same problem. Check out the other replies to this problem here at Fixya. I'm gonna try spraying the jacks and pots with a good cleaner. Then, I'm gonna try inserting a patch cable between the FX in and out. This seems to produce sound according to the other replies here at Fixya. Although this may not fix your amp, or mine, for that matter...I'm gonna try everything I can before I have to send it off for repairs.

SOURCE: mp3

The problem is that a CD has a stereo signal and the Marshall is mono.

You could make a simple mixer cable with resistors as a completed cable is not something you will find easily.

Take three 1K resistors joined at one end and connect the open ends of those one each to the three terminals of a stereo plug that fits you CD player.

Connect a mono plug and cable with "hot" to the joined connection of those resistors. Connect the ground shield of that cable to the barrel connection of the stereo plug that one of the resistros is also connected.

NOTE: if you use the "line" output of the CD player, then use 10K ohm resistors instead of 1K.

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.

Marshall mg amp no sound and blown tda7293

This amp has a design defect in the TDA7290 power circuit board. The heat sink is too close to main board when installed (at 90 degree angle) and can TOUCH the power signal on the board shorting out the fuse and/or transistor. I bent back the heat sink bracket slightly and it powered on fine. Also, the cooling fan must be 100% flowing or the transistor will cook in a short time, replace it also with new transistors (its a 5v computer chip fan). Good luck from Arlington guitar shop dot com.

After a gig last night we tried our Marshall JCM 2000 DSL401and it had developed two noises without anything plugged in. The first is a transformer hum that I'd never noticed before and when standby is...

Likely the filter capacitors have a problem. Best to take this in for repair... it is ODD that there is noise with the standby switch is in standby... That makes no sense... In standby it appears that power is removed from the power amp high voltage so nothing should come through the speaker... Unles maybe one off the power tubes had a total meltdown which should have blown the fuse.

I run a pod HD 500 into the amp and It breaks up, like there is a blown speaker sometimes.

The Marshall is a super clean acoustic amp.

The POD is overloading the amp.

Try the electric guitar input and keep the gain on the amp down, keep the EQ level and use the POD and the end volume to adjust the final volume.

The normal inputs is for a low output acoustic pickup - the POD is a high output electronic source.

Start with the Marshall gains low and get the clean sound good, then work on the gritty sound.

The amp is voiced for a sweet clean sound - if you want grit'n'ball change to a 50w Marshall valve head and a 4 X 12 cabinet.

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

Constant load noise when i switch my amp on

IT SOUNDS LIKE SOME COMPONENTS OR "PARTS" IN YOUR AMP ARE NOT CONNECTED TO THE CIRCUIT BOARD.
WHEN THESE AMPS ARE MANUFACTURED, SOMETIMES NOT ENOGH SOLDER IS PUT ON THE JOINTS.VIBRATIONS AND HANDLING THE AMP ROUGHLY MAY LOOSEN THESE JOINTS.

WARNING: DISCONNECT THE AMP FROM THE AC ( WALL.)

OPEN UP THE AMP.... CAREFULLY
CAUTION :DO NOT BEND THE "LEGS" OF THE LM 1875 TRANSISTOR THEY BREAK EASILY.
PUT THE SCREWS,NUTS AND WASHERS IN A BAGGIE.

LOOK CLOSELY AT THE SOLDER JOINTS.
ESPECIALLY WHERE THE POTENTIOMETERS ARE SOLDERED TO THE CIRCUIT BOARD.

THERE ARE THREE SOLDER JOINTS ON EACH POTENTIOMETER.
WITH YOUR SOLDERING IRON.. FLOW SOME HOT SOLDER ONTO THESE JOINTS.
START WITH THE GAIN 1 ..GAIN 2..TREBLE ETC.

THIS MAY SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
IF NOT,,,, YOU MAY HAVE A BROKEN POTENTIOMETER.
OR ... A BLOWN TRANSISTOR... LM 1875 IT IS THE ONE MOUNTED TO THE HEAT SINK.
