Hey guys, so I have an Alpine MRP-M350 amp that has just recently decided to stop working. The blue led light still comes on when the amp is on, and I have a multimeter and tested the voltage input to the amp and it is 14V. But I am getting absolutely nothing on the output terminals. All fuses are good and there is no evidence of the amp being fried (see pic below).
I took the amp to a repair shop and they said that the amp wasn't drawing any current. Does anyone know what could be wrong with it? I'd hate to trash this thing, its a great amp!

What is the DC voltage on the legs of Q601, Q603, Q604 and Q606? They should all be about the same. If they are, you only need to post the voltage for one of them. Place the black meter probe on the amplifier's ground terminal. Place the red meter probe on the point where you need to measure the voltage.
The DC voltage on Q601, 603, 604, and 606 is 14V if i measure the middle leg of each. The other legs are 0VDC.
That's it. Post the DC voltage on all 16 pins. Place the black meter probe on the amplifier's ground terminal. Place the red meter probe on the point where you need to measure the voltage.

The Q664 is positioned in a way that I cant get the probe on any of the legs to get a reading. But there is a small metallic "dot" next to Q664 that I placed the probe on and I'm reading 14 VDC.
