Soundstream AR1

This amp is in protect.
Pin16:8.95v
Pin4:4.03v

A mod has been done in the PS,not sure if it was from factory but the seal was intact.If I pull D26 it powers up and plays good audio.

Any suggestions?

Look at the protection section of the SLA amp where D26 is and see if you can locate that circuit in your amp. If you do, check the transistors. They can short or go leaky, causing the amp to go into protect.

In the SLA a section of circuit board trace is used as the shunt resistor to monitor the speaker output current. In your amp, the shunt resistor is the M-shaped resistor.
