Default Corroded wire now fixed, amp wont turn on now.

So I did something extremely stupid and lazy but before I here how stupid I am just know I am kicking myself now. My amp started to cut in and out. It wouldnt cut out often but it did once in a while (I could indicate it by the light on my dial. I ended up turning off the output from my stereo until I tore it apart, but didnt unplug, or anything, and amp still turned on with stereo. Now my light kept intermitantly coming on and off for a few weeks with the amount the light was on getting shorter and shorter until it didnt turn on at all(I know, its bad). I finally checked and my power wire was corroded and not giving the power needed. So I changed the wire, but now the Amp doesnt turn on at all. My question is would I have fried my amp by having the power intermitantly on and off to it or would it be a fixable thing? Fuses are fine and the circuitboard shows no signs of physical damage and all the activator, power wire, ground etc are all working fine with my multimeter. Thanks

Did you place the black meter probe directly on the ground terminal of the amp when measuring the B+ and remote voltage? If, check the voltage again with the black probe directly on the amp's ground terminal.
