Sorry to be late on parade (but if peeps would ^&%ing SAY what make of &^%$img amp they are having &^%^!!ing trouble with I would have got here sooner! Only know about &^%$!ing Blackstars!)
Yup, HT gone. Can't think it is anything but the 80mA fuse popped. It has long been my experience that very low value fuses are prone to random blowing (might have had a 1kV mains spike?) . It would also be virtually impossible to see if the fuse is intact.
80mils might be tricky to find and so I am going to stick out an unofficial neck and say fit a 100mA (T if fitted) . The HT diodes are 1A devices so can easily handle 100mA + fault current.
Oh yes! The pre amp loads are only 0.25W so do not fit an 82 and anything else but an 83? Check the anode volts.
Have not looked at the map for some time and did not realize that the heaters are AC fed? This means heater cathode issue could give rise to hum tho' neither of the cathodes are more than a few volts away from the heater.
If there is no sign of overheating on the PCB the fault is likely not serious (if there still IS a fault!) and so likely not going to cost a lot at Bs. AFAIK the amps are generally very reliable.

Nope. Is it as in this link but black?

If so you will have to check its continuity with a meter and if O/C get the amp to Blackstar.
Sorry I don' have any internal shots of the HT-1. personally I don't like PCB mounted fuses but I have to say I never had one go in an HT-5.
BTW, did not know there was a holder for them, did you IC? Would make sense to me to fit one and replace fuse?

It's *very* easy to damage the fine board traces if you're not experienced at regularly working on things like this - it even happens occasionally to those of us who are. If you damage the traces you're in for some very fiddly repair work to make a good job of fixing it.
