Laney CUB12R - Flickering Power Lamp , amp dies after 2 minutes

[GoodBadUgly]

I have got two Laney CUB12R amps. I use them as a stereo setup and really love the tone they pump out.

The other day, at very low volume, one of the amps just shut down. I knoticed the power lamp flickering, then the amp shut down. After resting for 5 minutes it can power on, but will shut down again after 2 min...

FYI: Swee Lee is TOTALY CLUELESS and and of no help whatsoever with this problem! I really hate that shop!

Anyway, I did a bit of reasearch, and to make a long story short, Laney had a bad batch of Polyswitch thermal fuses that made thier way into the CUB12R. The component is easy to replace with a soldering iron. Only issue, not stock of this part in Singapore.

I have ordered 10 pcs of the polyswitch from the US. If anybody else is having a similar problem, let me know as I will have extra components avail

Bro, last week or so, a guy here at soft but not even worth mentioning his nick, sold me a laney cub 10 with exactly the same problem of the flickering power lamp. God knows whts gonna hppn next. Im in touch with the authorities regarding this but enough of the side-tracking.
So in other words, do i nid to do the same as per ur solution?

@MrBlade HeadrusH: bro, i saw you comment on MARKED's sale post saying that the amp is good. So if the "authorities" do start questioning, I think that the comment of yours can be used against you.... just saying. Even more so if this is the products fault rather than the sellers fault.


EDIT: so like you said, leave it alone and settle it with him privately =)
