I would tend to disagree because for him to fix that amp would cost more than it is actually worth.

Just my 2 cents.

I would fix that amp for a total of 40.00 plus shipping and warranty it for 90 days

Looks like you will need to replace at least all the ps fets(when one goes they all need to be replaced) and gate resistors as well as possibly some power supply driver transistors. Not very expensive really depending on the parts used. Power supply could have blown though as a result of shorted output transistors which ups the price a bit as well. If mike says he would fix it for 40 bucks I think thats really an awesome deal. Parts alone are gonna approach that price depending on the quantity you buy them in. He is almost fixing it for free. I don't know him personally but I know he has repaired many amps. I personally think any amp is worth fixing and if you aren't gonna get it fixed sell it to korn4life or me if he doesn't want it. No need to send it to the junkyard as long as the board isn't burnt through and even then the heatsink could be used for other projects.
