When I turn on it is a big pop in the loudspeakers.
After this there is only silence.
The LEDs are lighting and the power on button works.
Everything works except for the complete silence.

A non simulated real life error! Start by measuring the voltages of the PSUs. Also check if the loudspeaker relay comes up and what the voltage before that relay is.

I am sure you are right.
The bop at turn on indicates DC on the output.
But now there is not even a bop.
Now it is all silent.
I think one output transistor blow. This caused the strong bop in the loudspeaker.
Now there is no more sounds.
Except for the relay turning on.
I took away the cord for the supply from the wall outlet.
Now it is possible to open amp and have a look.
But I save this for another day.
What is strange is that both channels seem to be gone.
If it was only one transistor that blow.

What I did.
1. Opened up the amplifier without plugging it in.
2. Touched a few cables. For example the positive and negative supple connection
3. I powered on
4. Amplifier magically started playing again !!!!!!
5. I replaced the cover - but without screwing it in place
Let us see for how long it will play.
I am prepared to see it fail again. I no longer trust it 🙁

Prepared to see it fail again? What about repairing it before semis to south?
Not repairing by touching but actual measuring and diagnosing. Certainly a better approach when you don’t trust it anymore.
Please make some pictures of both sides of the PCB.

I cant repair it.
It is so crowded and most points are sitting under the big PCB.
The problem is/was loose cables. When I sqeezed them into place it works.
