How bad is this and is it fixable? pics

Sunday night I was about to run the RCAs from my Orion to my deck. I had it bypassed from my other amp beacuse my deck only has 1 RCA preout until my dad said I could just Y it out. So today I went to go buy another RCA plug because the one I had broked when i was taking it out the amp, the plug ripped off...I pluged the RCA's in and now for some reason my Orion isnt working. I was still listening to music yesterday and today while i was driving and the only thing that was unplugged from the Orion was the RCA's. I checked and double checked all the fuses and wires and they all look fine. The amp was working before I unplugged the RCA's from the beggining. I have no clue what is wrong. Can some one please help? Thanks in advance!!

edit: i posted that in the General forum but i was curious as to what it was so i took the amp out and opened it and i found this:

it seems like they go here:

..if im correct i still have the 1 year manufacture warrenty. Should i send it back or is it fixable my self?

i would send it back since the amp still has warranty on it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

well if it's just 2 resistors than that should be easy, provided you know how to solder. however, if it's under warranty why not send it back? and btw, aren't most warrantys void if the cover is removed?

i guarantee i could resolder that together in like 5 minutes if thats the only problem.

but if you still got the warantee, call orion and ask them ASAP.

tell them that you DID NOT open the amp

and that theres something rattling inside.

^^i have no clue. I would think if it said that on the cover. But i would send it back but if its fixable, why not do it myself instead of waiting for ever to get another one, you know?

fix it yourself, that's easy and would be better than waiting a month or two with no amp IMO

x2, if you have soldering skills. if not, practice a little and you will get the hang of it.

but if you don't know what you are doing with a soldering iron you can make more trouble

By fixing it yourself you would be voiding your warranty. So if something goes wrong in the future...you're screwed.

Wait, 2 resistors JUST FELL OFF???? Does that seem ultra weird to anyone else....

Very odd. I'd still fix it myself.

 

[joetama 5,000+ posts]

LOL, yea I prolly would too, and then when it didn't work I would unsolder those 2 bastards and then ship it out to them lol....
