Amp Repair

[TonyC 10+ year member]

I just purchased an Alpine MRV-F545 off eBay but the right fan was broken upon arrival and loose in the amp, I took the back of the amp off to see if I could look at it but upon doing so, another 150 screws were revealed once I got the back off, LOL. So I stopped there. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Does anyone know where I can take this Amp locally to get the fan fixed? Do Audio Shops do this kind of thing? I'm guessing not but I need to get it fixed so I can get reimbursed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I used the search function but it seems most people are mailing their amps and I would prefer to do it locally but I will mail it in if that is the quickest option.

Thank you //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Check your local yellow pages and make some phone calls.

Electronics Repair is a good start, Radio & TV may also work. Not many electronic service centers as there used to be since everything is cheaply made in China people typically toss them and buy new these days.

I see that now, I couldn't find one place in my surrounding area who does amp repair, sigh.... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

I'd try to get my money back, if the ad didn't indicate it was damaged.

You may even try a tv repair shop......They know tons about circuits and can easily replace broken parts. I had my local tv repair shop switch out a faulty capacitor in one of my paintball guns one time
