I bumped into my speaker and then the Reciever seemed to have blown a fuse and stopped working. Probably shorted the speaker wire with the bump. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I’m attaching photos of the inside of the Reciever too. If you pinpoint the issue can you tell me where it is or circle if possible and tell me what the problem is. I’m a bit new at this.

ok i'll say what were all thinking.
if your unable to locate and change a fuse safely.
then don't.
take it to a competent repairer.
mind you i suspect you've blown the output stage and not just a fuse.
so the unit is more than likely a write off.

Please don't try to fix this, it requires test equipment and experience.
This is an inexpensive receiver, so just buy another used receiver, Sony or not,
in working condition, which will probably be less than the cost of the repair anyway.

Looks like a STK module, no speaker relays, or other protection for the output stage.
In a single word, don't.
Buy another, or build a new one, the new FM modules are cheap, offer USB / SD / Bluetooth as well, and their sound quality is much better than the string / gang tuners I have, same channel is much clearer with digital tuning. Remote as well.
Add a populated amplifier module, and a power supply, and there you are...and a cabinet of course.
You can, maybe, reuse some of the parts that are useful from the Sony.
A hack can be done, but it will be ugly, using it to house the new innards.
Be creative, do something innovative.
However, this requires experience.
So just find another, and enjoy the music.
Digital FM /amp combinations start here in India at about $10, which is lunch money, so not really worth getting fixed by a technician.
