Try a new power lead, assuming it's a separate IEC lead. My C-Mark is the fussiest imaginable.

Does it say anything in the manual about this fault???

Could be worth a look if not done yet. :)

I'll keep quiet then. :o :o
Next step is to try different speakers, just in case there's a short on them, or different speaker cables, same logic. Substitution for known good items is the place to start.

How long have you had the amp? I use Crown all the time and have never had a problem. The lights do come on when you power the amp up (I'm sure you know that) and then they go off again. Other than the advice given already, I don't know what else to add.
Good luck with it though, I hope you get it sorted.

Borrow some others. Anything, just
check by swapping, when the fault disappears ( if it does) you've found the offending item.

Good job you set up a gig tomorrow now then. Not very good help I know. Can you not take the amp to your local disco shop or give Crown a ring tomorrow?

Good to hear, I suggest you check your cables for loose or badly soldered joints.
Its very difficult to mix up the wiring on amps these days as the plugs will only go into one socket the right way round.
