Hi all , I am just getting into amplifier repair. I have read Perry’s guide and watched Barevids videos. I purchased a lot of amplifiers and have successfully repaired a few. I have what looks like a basic Zenon 5k Korean amp. The power supply fets, gate resistors and buffer transistors are all toast. The issue I have is the board has burned through. I have a few of these amps and I added photos of the burnt pcb along with an undamaged one for reference. Is there a proper way to repair this or is this unrepairable?

Repairable?
I'd say it is but it may not be for someone who is abusive and running it below rated impedance.
Did you see #4 on the Repairing Badly Damaged Circuit Boards page. The repair will be much the same. Cut away ALL carbonized fiberglass and use desoldering braid to re-establish the connections.
If you didn't buy or upgrade recently, email me to get the newest version.

Thanks for the replies. Perry I read the amplifier repair basics. I’ll email you about the full tutorial. Looks like I need to download a few things on my cpu.
