Problems SS vga1600.2 amp

[maintrain 10+ year member]

I'm having a problem with my vga1600.2. While testing my new sub, my voltage dipped and the amp stopped playing. I heard a click and the "rca open" light came on and the blue power light went off. I immediately unplugged the power and left amp overnight to try again in the morning. As of today, it's still doing the same thing and power light remains off. Have I just screwed this amp? Are there any fuses to check? Anything to reset? I know the amp isn't manufactured anymore, but would it be worth sending it to Soundstream to have it repaired?

BTW, I have searched and read the few threads with similar issues but none of them report any resolution to the problem

They do not repair that amp anymore iirc. You may need to go to db-r. Let me know hor it works out because mine has a rail+ LED lit yet it seems to work fine for now.

They said they will fix it for $160. Sending it to them today. We'll see what happens.

Cool man, thanks for the update; and please do post back the results!

Did you send it to db-r or soundstream?

soundstream. I'll keep you posted.

I finally got the amp back from soundstream. Entire process took around 3 weeks to complete. Total cost of repair was $160. They did not indicate what they repaired but it was a good experience overall. Communication was great.
