I had used it for 1 year and after it began to show the clip light.
I looked at a schematic for EP2500 which is same but has a lower buss voltage than the EP4000. Below, the drive signal to the power stage is full wave rectified to illuminate the LED, d-c is presented to the LED if R128 & R138 has an a-c return. There is a line that can push-up the a-c return. It goes off to a connector that is unknown. I suspect the push-up voltage is not there. It could mean anything. I think its coming from the main transformer, Check for blow fuses.
Also the speaker output is protected with a "Crowbar" circuit. It is simply a Triac device (light dimmer) or two SCRs to prevent d-c from shorted output devices being applied to the speakers. which would cook the speaker coils. This may be activated when amp is turned on. Then there is the possibility of the output power devices - one or more shorted.
The amp needs to be checked out by a repair technician.
