It's blown. Powers on, protect light is on, but the green LED pulses every ~20 seconds. It doesn't make a "click" noise you usually hear when it turns on. Missing the power set screw for the terminal (can be had for a few cents at a hardware store).

$100 + shipping. It does 1600 @ 1 ohm. Some say they have ran this at .5 daily. I've personally ran it at .75 for about a month with no problems. I loved this amp!

 

http://www.ciaengineering.com/index.htm is a place recommended to me by snoopdan for repair. I have a Treo amp over there right now, they told me it is usually around $85-95 for the repair which includes shipping.

None of the internals are burned or anything.

so are you certain that the place you said charged $100 and nothing more? shipped?
The place I asked at was ciaengineering.com They currently have my Treo amp over there. When I called they say it's usually $85-95 (which includes the shipping back), but if it requires a VERY specific special part, the price may go up a little. They cannot give an exact quote because they need to get the amp on the bench and see what's wrong with it. I'm guessing it will be in the $85-95 range because a part may just need to be replaced, it's not like the entire board is fried.

They are pretty busy right now because of finals, but they are nice and responsive (they pick up their phones and answer emails the same day). Snoopdan recommended them to me so I went with them. Not to mention, the prices are not bad at all.

And yes, I can do $100 shipped.
