I'm posting this for a budy of mine. After looking at the circuit board I could only find one sign of damage. A very small blue plug looking thing. I took a few pictures. I have no idea how to identify what that part is and where I can find a replacement for it and how much. Any input is appreciated.
you can't troubleshoot an amplifier simply by ataring at the insides of it. you need proper test equipment. as I said above, get the repair guide CDs, and the right gear, and you have half a chance at fixing it. otherwise, contact Perry Babin at BCAE and ask him if he's taking repairs right now.
Perry Babin is excellent. Another excellent resource (they've repaired some of my oldschool PPI PC2350's and did a FANTASTIC job). Excellent price and service is the best: http://audiotekx.com/ If the site doesn't work, PM me and I'll give you the email address. I'm friends with one of the techs there.
