help! Little dot mkIII won't turn off!

[dollar99]

The power switch on my amp stopped working. Turning the switch to off has no effect and the amp stays on until I unplug the power cord. Has anyone had this happen to them before? Do I need a new power switch module?

Thats the only thing that could be the problem. I own one but I havent had it happen. I would recommend trying to figure the exact part number and changing it yourself. There are people on the forum that have opened it up before so I am sure someone could walk you through changing it or something. Good luck!!

Email David at Little Dot, their customer service is excellent.

Yea, it's an easy fix. If you don't wanna deal with the hassle of shipping back and forth, open up the 4 screws in the back plate, and simply replace the power switch, with the correct installation of the wires of course. But if you can live several days without ur amp, ship it back to David (in the US) and they would ship you a new one.

Cheaper to DIY, though.

Wow, so I'm not the only one. The exact same thing happened to me. So far I've been really lazy and as the power bar is right next to the amp, I've just been unplugging it. Sooner or later I'm sure I'll change out the switch though.

Does anyone know the part number and where I can order a replacement?

I don't think there's really a "part number" to it. Just search a similar switch on Ebay or look for one with the similar size in ur local electronic stores (ratshack).

Hey, my powerswitch also stopped working! Hot damn, I love this amp but this really sucks. Was going to turn it off for some tube rolling and power switch felt slightly limb, and it wont turn off other than pulling the plug.

 

[mrwinick]

I've been thinking about buying this amp. Anyone else having any mechanical problems with their Little Dot's?

 

[Tridacnid]

No problems here. BTW, MaZa, how do you like the 325i/MKIII combo?

Stock tubes are eenyweeny bit too prominent on highs, but after replacing them to Mullard tubes, fantastic combination!
