it looks like you lost your ground and it tried to find another one..that is a soplder bridge that poped..solder back across it and see if it brings it back to life..while you have it apart check for bad solder all over the amp as it is sometimes the cause of these problems with that particular amp..the 800 came in many different version but was generally a pretty reliable and **** powerful class AB amp..I have had several and really like them..if it turns out to be cooked bad andif your not interested in fixin it I'd be interested in buying it?...give it some thought

i soder'd it back together. the amp turned on, and looks like its back. i just need to test it. thanks for your help. and if it doesnt end up working i will definitely think about selling it.
