Mesa/Boogie Nomad repair: always check power supply connections and then caps!

[@hamidsamadani9382]

Hello. My 45 Nomad periodically won't work. Turn it on and no sound. It's done it recently before. I left it for awhile turned it on and it worked. Currently not working. Thoughts?

bad joint most likely, probably one of the connectors or possibly a relay - this thing has a million relays in it for channel switching. They do wear out.

Hi there. I have a Nomad 45 which is blowing fuses. Opened it up and it has exactly the same issue with the burn from the 3.1v from the power adapter. What was the issue and how did you fix it ? Thanks a lot.

dried out caps and a bad connector. I replaced both.
