First of, I have no idea what happened.
I used the amp yesterday afternoon and it was perfectly fine.
Then I switch it on this morning and it won't work.
It's a Sony STR-DE515 that I bought three years ago.
Whenever you turn it on, you have to wait a few moments, then you hear a relay click and you get sound however as of this morning when you turn it on and wait a few moments you don't hear a click, instead it blinks "PROTECT".
I opened the case and saw nothing visually bad (at a glance) and I hit it a few times, just in case the relay was somehow stuck. That didn't work either.
Visually all the caps look okay and I don't smell anything burnt so nothing went poof.
What happened? Did the output transistors or something go?
My entire home theater system is effectively useless without this receiver and I don't have the budget to buy another one.
