don't allow drinks that can be spilled knowing there is an expensive amp that would be flooded if that happens.

or mount the amp elsewhere

The sad thing is that you could end up replacing the allegedly burnt component to still have a fully NON-functioning amp. If you are lucky, none of those micro-resistors blew but they are a royal beeitch to test, and even more fun to replace.

If you are really unlucky, you can replace that burnt component only to have it blow again upon first power up.

My suggestion would be to send it to a qualified amp tech unless you really, really are certain of what you are doing!

I could be wrong here, but I think it is going to take a little more than cleaning cola off of the circuit board to get that amp working again.

Its not cola on the circuit, the cola short-circuited the power supply... the joints kinda melted together in some areas...

the amp still turns on, and produces sound, but you can definitely tell it's wrong...

(won't make sound untill you turn it up to a certain gain, And even then its highly distorted)

I'm hoping that i had it set low enough that underneath the corrosive crap which is arcing the joints, there are only minor repairs to the solders i need to make, (SO FAR, that appears to be the case, time will tell.

Ooh, looks like you did toast some micro resistors. This repair will be FUN!
