Marshall JMC800 died after pods cleaned

[jbgun]

This afternoon, I cleaned the pods on my 1986 tube amp (Marshal JMC800). Afterward, I tested it by playing my guitar through it, then turned it off. Three hours later when I tried to turn the amp back on, the switch didn't light up, and nothing was functioning. Any ideas???

A tube amp doesn't have any part called pods. What do you mean?

I can't help thinking of the Red Dwarf episode where the navigation computer gets filled with hot soapy water by an over-zealous cleaning droid, causing the spacecraft to crash.

Assuming you didn't short it out by filling it with water, check the fuse. If it is blown, replace it with one of the same value and try again. If it blows again, take the amp to a repair shop - it might need new tubes or suchlike.

C'mon you guys, get serious, from some of the replies you would think you're all high on pod.
Really though, I thought a pod was that thing Derek Smalls got stuck in during "Rock 'n Roll Creation".

Terry, just open the pod bay doors and stick them in.
I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that.
