Hi 1manwolfpack,

can i test this suposed blown ic with a multimeter

No, not really. There are somethings you can check but you need to know what you are doing. Some multimeters will blow IC's if they run off a 22.5 V battery or higher. Same goes for low resistance scales.

So, a very qualified yes for very simple tests, but the best test is the circuit it's in.

n what about ba05st and b1566 can they be tested with multimeter?

Same answer as above. Don't.

was wondering if i can get another just like it or better, increase wats or some.

No. More things must be changed, like the power supply for one. You could bridge the speakers if they are not already.

Why not look up this IC and find out more about it?

thanks a lot, thats what i thought, n thankz for the ebay link,any 1 know where i can find a fixing electrncs for dummies type of e books, i mean i can save ur life but cant fix a dvd aint that something.

ok this is going in as stereo but coming out as mono thru right n left.
so i think is bridged, just dont know where.
this venturer has 3 audio output set up , prologic, 3 stereo and off, in prolgc if both lef n rght inputs r connected it dsnt sound, if only 1 channel is connected it sounds only in the output corresponding to the input, no sound comes from 3 stereo , n in off setting- left n right sounds with mono out in both output.

all ready bought the IC, but need help with this cause, i might mess the ic because of d bridge if theres any.
by the way no soldering in the bottom of pcb, other than the normal
