Blown output transistor, can I remove it and just use a different channel?

[roaringpanda33]

Hey guys, I have an amp with a blown output transistor (ADS p640). I'm only using 2 channels and it has 6 channels. Is it possible for me to just remove the shorted transistor so it doesn't blow the fuse, and use channel 3 instead of 2? This is mostly just to test the other parts like the PSU.

If the transistor isn't being used, it won't matter if it's missing, right?

Thanks,

Panda
