[QUOTE="Spooney, post: 8190631, member: 584130"] I really doubt replacing that cap is going to repair your issue. To me it looks like the shrink wrap has come off of the cap and thats about it. The top of it doesn't appear to be bulging at all at least not from what I can see on my phone. Like was mentioned even if that cap were bad there is still a good chance the amp could work ok. You are saying that the protect light comes on for a few seconds and then goes out......... lots of amps do that. Many amps out there that power on in protect for a few seconds before they fully power on. After the protect light goes out do you hear a click from the amp? I am assuming your power light is not coming on after the protect light goes out . Have you tried to see if the amp is actually working after the protect light goes out? I had one of these very same amps with a bad power on LED. You may have nothing more than a bad power on LED if you haven't confirmed that the amp does or does not have output. Also wondering where your fuses are. There are two empty fuse holders right next to the cap with the bad shrink wrap [/QUOTE]
