If the readings are essentially identical, there is likely another problem.

Measure the DC voltage from leg 3 of one of the 2SA1695s to leg 3 of one of the 2SC4468s in the failed channel. Set your meter to the lowest range if it's not an auto-ranging meter. Does the meter ever read more than 0.000v when the amp is trying to power up?

Since the outputs are in groups of 3, read the voltage from leg 3 of one transistor from each group of three 4468s to leg 3 of one transistor in each group of 1695s.

If you read more than 0.000v in the failed channel, do the same on the other channel. If you only read voltage on the failed channel, something is causing that channel to draw excessive current.
