Those LEDs are channel protection. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's only a fuse.

But you've helped me locate them. I looked for the others now next to the capacitors. I have to take this thing apart to see if they are blown...

But it's a start! Thank you

Btw I’ll bet the blown fuses will be on the left board When facing the front of the unit. Good luck and remember not to stick you fingers in till it’s been unplugged for a while.

Thank you so much for pointing me on the right direction. I figured they would be the ones on the left too! Good advice

So I can see...

2 on the front board...they are good.

There are 4 fuses on the right board and 4 fuses on the left board.

I will have to dismantle and unscrew things to get to them. Makes me nervous:/ looks complicated


But I can almost guarantee it's the fuses

Oh my God...if I can fix this I will be so happy lol

Thanks so much for your help guys. It's a good place to start

Dunno, but it might be easier to access those fuses by unscrewing the back cover.

Blow the dust out of it.

Totally what I was kinda thinking...I may need to unscrew the sides and heat sinks to gain access.

Ooooh I'm tickled pink..I sure hope I can fix this

Unfortunately I'm off to a 12 hour nightshift and it will have to wait

Thanks again you guys

No, don't do that! Those heat sinks are attached to the output transistors which are in turn soldered to the amp channel boards. Those heat sinks aren't going anywhere.

There is one more thing to check before you start taking this thing apart ... are you sure your speaker terminals are not shorted ... remove the connected speaker wire and look for any small stay wire which might be shorting the terminals. Then turn it on with out the speakers connected and see if you get the same results ...

Lol k fair enough. I'll slowly and methodically look at it closer on days off. I'll keep you updated
