I have repaired alot of components and the power supply on this unit already. IC8 burned 1/2 of its pads off so i had to repair it. The power supply is working.
I changed the IRS20957S and both of the aot412 were short. I replaced them both. When i attempted to power up the amp, it started normally then protection shut off, yet q501 heats up and shorts fast.

all of the gate resistors and smd capacitors test good. So mounted the amplifier in the heat sink, and tested for audio. Everything tested good. All channels full Audio. Seems that those aot412 just run hot unless mounted t ok the sink, even then the case gets warm at idle.
