As I said in another post I bought this amp as none working and blowing fuses , once I opened it up there was one fuse missing and the led ( power indicator) wires were lose and potentially touching the chassis. I reconnected the led , replaced all the fuses including the one that allegedly kept blowing at the iec power input socket.
Could it be the chip that’s dead ? There is a little green led near the chip that doesn’t light up .
I can hear a relay clicking after a few seconds of powering on but no sound into the speakers ( 000.3mv at the terminals )
Should I just forget it and keep the case etc ?

I vaguely recall that those early higher-power Tripath modules often failed spectacularly. Hopefully the toroids are still good, as they look substantial.
You could replace the PCB with chip amp modules with a caution for torroid voltages.
Definitely keep the toroids if they're still good. And the case. Maybe harvest the opamps. They're in sockets after all. 🙂
