Plugged wrong power source into my Fishman amp. Quilter 24v instead of original 12v. Now I have flashing lights - thats all! Does anyone have experience with one of these amps? Fishman ignores my calls and emails. My tube tech wont touch it. Great amp, would love to resurrect it. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

You can't really expect anyone to reply without knowing exactly what model amp you have. A quick ooogle search shows at-least a dozen models. With only a 12V supply, my guess is it's probably a Class D design. If Fishman won't fix it, trash it and buy another.

Edit Oooge shows no "Loudmini". There is a Loudbox mini, but it has an IEC connector for a line cord. No input for a 12V supply

Edit 2 Ok, found it. Its a Loudbox-Mini-Charge. Uses a 12V 5A power supply. Same advise applies. If Fishman won't fix it, trash it and buy another.

Fishman offers circuit boards at a very reasonable cost, cheaper than you can repair them.  If you are not doing SMT level repairs, you would not be able to work on the board anyway. 
You just have to figure out which board you need.
I'm not sure why they are not responding to you, I would try calling the phone number on the support page of their website.

Thank you for your responses. I was mainly trying to find out Fishmans integrity from other experiences. My amp guys negative response, the unreturned phone calls and emails with Fishman and the fact I was not finding schematics gave me the impression I was going to find a dead end no matter what. I called the support number on their website to no avail.

For what its worth it is Fishman Loudbox Mini Charge - model #494-000-582.

Thank you sincerely for your responses. I will probably buy a new one with Black Friday sales and maybe this one can be resurrected in the future...
