These style amps are generally a pretty easy fix.

Please elaborate on this.When you say it doesn't work are you saying it does not power on at all? or it powers on but no audio? blows fuses at turn on? blows fuses when you hook up just the power and ground with no remote applied?

It is definitely fixable. Just depends on what it is worth to you. The outputs in this amp are a little pricier than most but there are only six of them. Power supply fets are cheap and easy to come by. Not sure on the rectifiers. A common failure in these amps is shorted inductors whether it be the two output inductors in front of the fan or the single common mode choke near the rectifiers. If you absolutely cannot find anyone else to fix this for you and are not in a big rush for time I will see if I can do it for you but I cannot promise you a fast turn around . I'm lucky to get a couple hours a week to fix anything these days
