Amp HELP!

[MakeItVibrate]

So my iA7 stopped working today. I figured it was just a short in the turn on lead. I jump my power to the turn on to see if i could get the amp to power up. When i do that the protect light blinks for a second then nothing else. Usually the protect will light up then the power light comes on and stays on. Im assuming im getting power from the battery because the protect at least comes on for a second. If there was no power id get nothing at all. I checked all the fuses on the amp and none were blown.

Where do i go from here to troubleshoot this? Thanks in advance!

Well the bottom of the iA7 is made of plexi... so i could just flip it over. Should i just be looking for anything burnt?

YES.. be best if you can open it up and be able to pick and pull with a small pin point screwdriver,see if anything is loose also??//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Well I just check and see nothing out of the ordinary. Looks like brand new. Wouldn't the protect light just stay on if it was fried? Cuz the protect comes on then the power light flashes for a quick second then they both shut off. I'm lost.

Not necessarily.. if its not making a good connection/power/ground/remote on the board,.. I had an Alpine do that to me before

Well I guess I could poke around a little more and hope I find something. It has a 5 year warranty so worst case I could always send it in.
