Audio Clubs in North Carolina?

Hi All - I have been looking through this forum in the hopes of finding someone local (28327). I am not electronics literate... but a little "tinkery." I got an old amplifier at an estate sale (POA-2800). It was working. I took it apart to replace a broken rca connector. I did that and blew out excessive dust with compressed air. Put it back together and now the protection circuit is stuck in safe mode. I suspect that whatever help I get will be over my head. That's why I thought I would see if I can find someone who understands electronics in the area. (I work at Ft. Bragg). Anyone close that's up for physically looking at my amp with me?
