[QUOTE="pavengmike6, post: 587077, member: 553009"] To be honest unless you know anything about circuit boards and capacitors and soldering the answer is NO. Take the cover off the amp. Look and see if any of the board is black or looks like there is anything (water/salt residue) on it. If not look around all the capacitors and see if there is any burning of the board, or any material around the connections. The only thing you can really do is try and clean the circuit board with a STATIC FREE cloth. Look at all the circuit board lines and make sure there is not a burned area conecting them. The problem with fixing the amp is most electronic repair stores do not stock the diagram for each and every amp. They would have to order it, ( and the are not cheap) then order what parts are bad, and also find the bad parts, and hope it is not the main board. All this adds up to a point the fixed amp costs a lot more than a new one. The same thing goes for VCR and TVS. It is cheaper to get a new one. All you can do is clean it (no power to it) and be very carefull, some of the capacitors may still be holding a charge and they CAN kill you. [/QUOTE]
