Quickstrike

Well, I think it blew the first fuse (original) because of a lightning storm we had one night. Even though I had it hooked up to a surge protector, the power supply in the house must have flashed off and on about 8-10 times that night. The next morning, I woke up and my control panel no longer powered up. Bought a pair of fuses from Radio Shack. I don't know why the first attempt failed. All I know is that the second fuse has been working perfectly for the past few days.

OMG!!! The first fuse I tried blew right away. It has been a couple of months and I decided to try one more time. Bang! I saw the back of the amp light up. Oh no I thought. Another fuse blown. Wait... this time the control panel turns on. And the center speaker that stopped working, now works again! Wow. I have had a silent computer for the past couple of months. It is so nice to have audio again! Please tell me what I should do to make sure this doesn't happen again. Should I leave it on? Turn it off right after use? I don't want this to happen again!!

Same with me [:'(]. Did you find out what your problem was? I thought that I wouldn't have any of the problems that you guys have been having. Been working 3+ years flawlessly up until now. Went to power the speakers up and no-go. In any outlet. Music was playing just fine yesterday, about 8 hours prior to when I tried to power it up.
