Marshall amp, no sound.

There's no sound coming from my amp at all, no poping, no fuzz, just silence.It's a Marshall JCM 2000 TSL 100,I bought it new a few years ago. It was working fine for a couple hours and then I set my guitar down with the volume off and forgot to turn on the stand by on the amp head,came back an hour later and nothing would come out, tried a different guitar and cables still nothing at all on any of the channels.Only problem I've ever had with it is that I think it over heats I've had to put a fan on it after a few hours of playing and then it would work fine,but now there's just nothing.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.Thanks.

check you HT fuse. It's a 500mA. If it's blown, chances are pretty good you have a bad power tube. Unless they are new, it's a good idea to change them all and make sure they are properly biased. In fact, if you have never had it serviced, now would be a good time to have it gone through. There are a few inherent issues that will crop up sooner or later. Best to get it taken care of now than have it go down at a bad time.
