[QUOTE="pavengmike6, post: 526557, member: 553009"] AMPS can turn on and still be fried. Is the amp NEW or USED? It sounds like one or more of the CAPS inside the amp shorted out (that would be the smoke). If it is a new amp take it back and return it. If it is an old amp take the back cover off the amp and look at the circuit board. It should not have any areas that look burnt. (black). If so your amp is fried. Depending on the extend of the damage determines if it can be repaired. If you melted any of the MIAN circuit bord you cannot fix that at a decent cost. If it was only a individual CAP that went out you may be able to take it to a electronic shop and have it fixed. The problem with most repair shops is they do not stock every elec blue print and have to order it, and they make you pay for that. It ends up costing more than 2 amps would cost to buy new. Are you sure you did not swap your power and ground wire by mistake? [/QUOTE]
