well guys i think i actually might of found out what the problem was. i did some more testing i took the whole board out of the actual amp casing. I went and powered her up again but noticed this time that the actual power does not just fade out. its goes power up then to protect power up then to protect etc.... etc....but i noticed that the relay on the actual board is clicking each time. so i was thinkn just replace the relay anyone know where i can find that type of relay and also how do i get the old one out do i just melt the solder's on the back of the board itself so i can replace the amp.thanks for help guys.

I kind of doubt that relay is the problem. It is probably just responding to the circuits that control it. Clicking is somewhat normal for a relay when it changes state. When a relay fails it normally won't open or won't close depending on what the issue is with the relay. You did install the board back into the amp case before you powered it up correct? Did you use thermal paste where needed?
