Ash LG1000 not powering up

Just hooked up my new lg1000 to a cab but the power led on the front doesn't come on. I'm not a techie when it comes to these things and it's the first rig ever bought so don't understand what's going on. Basically the fan starts up for about 3 secs then stops and there is a small red light visible inside the amp but apart from that no life whatsoever. The power cable arrived with a continental plug so couldn't use it and used a normal kettle lead- could that be the problem? I doubt it...Do i send it back or is there something obvious i'm missing? Any help appreciated please!!!

[b]switch on the left is Gain(set at 12 oclock)[/b]
[b]Switch on right is Volume[/b]
[b]If theres nothing wrong with the speaker lead and youve checked the fuse in the kettle lead[/b]

What cab have you got it with ?

what lead are you connecting amp to cab with? ie: is it a guitar lead or a speaker lead, or just a short patch lead ? and have you tested it. Do you have a multimeter to do simple continuity tests ?

Was it bought new, or second hand, from a mate , or a shop or the interweb ? (just looking at the return options or the options to ring someone and ask them questions about it)

Do you not have a techie mate or band member (I know where not[i] all [/i]in bands. I'm not myself) who can come round and give free advice for cups of tea ? (or beer)

As I posted before, I bought a brand new LG 1000 couple of years ago. The head would not make any sound. I tried everything and I resorted to sending the head back to the shop. The shop called me and told me that the wiring inside was defective, but that they managed to re-solder the faulty wiring. They asked me if I wanted the head posted back after the repair. I told them they could keep it.
