My Line 6 Spider III
I suspect the power cord or it's connector is fasulty. That wouldbe the easyiest fix.Past that, it would need to go to an authourized Line 6 repairman.
How to remove chassis line 6 spider 111 30
Remove the retaining screws from the top and sides of the amp. The handle may need to come off as well. Remove the chassis from the cabinet from the rear by droping the rear of the chassis about 45 degrees and lifting the faceplate over the baffle board.It will be a snug fit.

My spider III amp has no sound.. lights on but no sound
No, probably NOT a fuse issue here (still lights up, etc.). Are you using the foot-pedal accessory? If so, then unplug it and go direct into amp. Try some headphone via the output jack (sound?) Yes -> GOOD. NO? -> Not so good. May require servicing. Also, check the guitar cord you're using. While unlikely, somehow it might have gotten damaged. Good luck!

"Insane button has stopped working"
those micro switches tend to go out after awhile. what i have done is (if you have experience with circuit board handling and are proficient at soldering.) de-solder the bad switch and take it down to radio shack and have them size it up. and just replace it. i have had to do this with several of my line 6 products
Amp wont turn on, but i hear a pop when turning off
first off nothing should pop when turned off next it could be a grounding problem external or internal or worse an audio output problem take a volt meeter and turn key to on check the ground and positive on the amp should read 12 to 14 volts do same with ground and remote wire if these both read correct remove the back set your meeter to the diode setting the audio outputs are usually the larger ones but sometimes not take your leads and touch out side legs then to the outside to center try each one every way you can switching leads if at any time the buzzer stays on or goes to flat 0 then that output is bad if all check good i would go through the car making better connections and cleaning up any wires that might seem to be faulty maybe even replace your RCA cables
im running 18 speakers and 8 amplifiers in my car and i have done this several times :( but i don't pop unless something is wrong hope this helps
I am trying to replace a master volume pot from a
Typically all the knobs have to come off... the nuts on all the jacks have to go... Sometimes there are small screws through the front that have to be removed... some of these are found around XLR type connectors.

Test the amp by touching the tip of the cord you unplug from the guitar and preferably try it with a second cable as well. If at high gain you don't get a loud hum, best to take unit for service. If it hums, then check battery in your guitar. The battery in the guitar is enabled when a cable is plugged in and MANY forget to unplug the cable from the guitar and have a dead battery within a day and blame the amp. This applies to most guitars that have preamps in them... there are some that are "passive" that do not have a battery.

If cycling the power IMMEDIATELY restores operation, it is likely something in the DSP (Digital SIgnal Processor) area associated with the built in effects. Do a test... see if the signal using headphones drops as well...
This unit uses a TDA type of power amp and those can overheat and shut down... so also do a test running it a lower level to see if it fails there... If it doesn't, you probably are just driving it too hard... solution is to get a bigger amp to get more noise...
Sometimes my Line 6 stops
first open the amp up, and check the connections to the speaker are ok, if that checks out, next is the fuse, you need to check all the components to see which ones are shorting out or overloading. most you can check with a simple voltmeter. this should help you identify your problem.

Transformer failures are VERY UNCOMMON. I would verify the problem before trying to find one.
Most failures are with circuit board cracks and electrolytic capacitors.
Find a very competent electronic technician to check this out.
The RARE failures that occur in transformers are often poor soldering right near the terminals or lead wires. These can often be repaired without replacing.
Tuner
In the navigator display in the upper right corner of the face, after holding the tap switch or the tap footswitch for over two seconds the display will indicate your tuning. Strike an open string and the left end of the display will show you the note. Then there will be left and right arrows on the screen until you adjust your tuning for that note. When in tune for that note, two asterisks will be displayed in the center of that display.
Read your manual on the page with the "Smart FX" at the start.

There is likely a switch contact on the headphone jack that routes the amp output to the speaker. These jacks on most music stuff are JUNK and the contact may not be closing.
If the spring contact is bent so it won't close you can bend it to contact BUT the springyness usually is gone and the contact will be marginal.
En los amplificadores line 6 spider iii
translation: In the amplifier Line 6 Spider 3, is it possible to connect effect pedals of other makes apart from Line 6.
Creo si, pero primo del amplificador con una corda guitarra.
I think that you can, just add them to the input
Wheres the preset button on a line 6 spider III 30
I am guessing that you are trying to replace the presets the amp comes with, with your own. In which case all you do is dial in the sound you want and then hold either the clean,crunch,metal, or insane buttons until you see the light flash. Usually hold it for about four seconds.
Output i.c. blown apart
It is LIKELY a TDA2050 which is available from DigiKey.com for about $3.
This is a common part used in the Line 6 stuff and also many other small amps.
You can download a data sheet from the net easily as well.
