Ive had them go just from plugging in the IEC lead with the power on.

Swapping out with a piece of tin foil sorted that problem out...

If you haven't taken the fuse holder out yet, do it and see if there is a spare in there, they quite often put a spare in as there is space to hold one inside the clip. Good practise to put one in if it hasn't, that way you can sort out any problems at a gig with just a screwdriver, and not have to rummage in a toolbox in the dark

As for the lead that no longer works, I have seen crappy IEC connectors that do not mate reliably due to insufficient "spring" in the wipe contacts.

You can sometimes fix this by..............

No, I don't think I'll suggest poking a small screwdriver in to the in-line IEC socket!!! Not here.

i just popped the fuse out and there is no spare.
Where can i order some for cheap for in the case that they pop?
