Peavey Series 260C Bass Combo

[Funkbassbum]

Hi

I replaced the damaged mains lead to my combo which involved de-solering the old and re-soldering the new.

When I switched my combo on, it stayed on for a second and switched off again.

Any Ideas as to what could be wrong?

I have done electronic work before which involved alot of soldering but I am no electronic engineer.

Your help will be appreicated.

Do you have some kind of Volt-Ohm meter? Check the power switch and the fuse.

Was the original cord damaged when the amp was on?
What kind of damage are we talking about?
I can only assune that you put the new wires where the old ones were.
Black to black. (hot / line 1)
White to white. (return/ line 2)
Green to chassis ground.
Yeah, and as Loudthud suggested, use an ohmeter.
