    Connect the power at the DC input to simulate the power supply, but first try to locate the schematics, likely you have a short at +B rail. (also check the pcb around the dc-jack positive pin if the jack is directly soldered to the board)

            First you need to determine where is the short, remove JP6001 and JP6002 and with a DMM check the resistance at both sides, maybe PD6000 (TVS diode got shorted), you need to isolate parts of the cirtuit to discover the short.

                      No, he's suggesting you remove the solder at these two points which then reveal a break in the trace and you can test which side has the short with your multimeter.

                          OHM range or diode testing will do the job.

                            I desolderd those 2 pads...wich area should i check? ... is there not a easy way like put amps on it and see if a component heats up? if so where should i solder the wires...

                              You need to locate which side has the short first before you start injecting voltage.
                              One probe on ground the other on the desoldered pads.

                                I tested it i marked it for you on the picture... on those 2 pads no value in the other 2 i see some... is that the right setting on the multimeter?

                                  Yes the correct setting. What's it show the other side of those pads ?
