Help Proceed AVP2 fuse burn out

Turned off my Proceed AVP2 to clean the dust around the area, when I plugged it in again to try and turn it on it was dead. I opened it and noticed two fuses inside, one was burnt. Went to radio shack purchased the same fuse but it keeps burning out also. Any ideas?

There's only ONE fuse in my AVP2, I don't know where you got the other one? My is a small 2A slow-blow a few inches from the AC input. What size did you replaced your with?

That's strange I have 2 fuses in mine right near the AC input, they are each 250V 1A slow-blow. I replaced the burnt one and when I powered the system on the second fuse burnt out. Tommorow I will replace the second fuse, something does not seem right here.

After a couple of tries and blown fuses, don't keep installing fresh ones and applying power without diagnosing the cause, or you risk doing additional, costly damage. I gave this same advice to a member on another forum who did not heed my warning, and just kept installing new fuses and powering his amp up over and over. He ended up seeing a show of sparks, flame and smoke.
