You have probably just blown the fuse at the battery so this will have to be replaced. Also the fuse on the amp my also of blown as automatic protection they have. Make sure to replace the fuse with one's of equal amperage. To be safe and make sure everything works you should really replace these with fuses of half size first just to make sure your equipement is functioning correctly then you can put back in the correct sizew fuses.

Well i haven't had my hands on one before. So if they do not have a fuse that can easily be replaced on the outside there must be a way that you can remove the casing and gain access to replace it.

The 150.1 doesn't have an internal fuse ( only the external inline fuse that your supposed to install ) so chances are you have some internal resistor damage. You will need to send this in for repair.

ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE BATTERY BEFORE ANY ELECTRONIC WORK!
