hi, i wonder if anyone could help me.

Was just moving my computer about and the lead that takes the audio to my amp came loose and i think the two metal bits of the phono leads touched each other and my speakers started repeatedly barking at me in about 3 second intervals. I even turnde the volume down on the amp and it still carried on doing it.

unplugged the amp from speakers and switched off and then back on again and it sounds like a car does when starter motor has gone. It just clicks over in three second intervals like there is something stuck and not letting it power up.

Is it something as siimple as an internal fuse that's blown or does it sound more serious than that?

I'm a bit of a technophobe with very basic knowledge so if anyone can help it would be cool if you could use layman's language.

thanks very much
