Welcome to the forum!

what was wrong with the amp before work was carried out? how many amps is the amp pulling on idle? looks like you have issue on the left side..

To Marko :
Hy !
The amp came to me in desperate conditions from a person who sold me for 50 Eur....
All mosfets of right side burned....
Board ruined and minor damages.....
My dream is to reanimate it !

Using a 100 ohm resistor in place of thermal res yellow led go off and
power green led light on !!!!!!!!!
....but amp "eat" a ton of current !!! (4-5 ampere)
Have tested all resistors on both channel and are all ok !
Leds are ok
Transistors seems to be ok.....
UFF !!!! so if all components ok...why right channel CLIP and left channel DEAD ?
This evening will make other tests....

if the boards been out then one of the outputs could be shorted to chassis, have you tried current draw with board out of sink?

Yeah...board is on my table........

something is shorted for it to be drawing high amps at idle, check all outputs again and psu fets..

Could be rectifiers ? (SF302 and SF302N)
Thank U
