I've got a gemini XPM-1200 amp and one of the channels is blown can this be fixed? I have opened it up and can't see anything burnt out.

I expect it can be but unless its something obvious like fuses its not a five minute job...

this is a link to someone else what had this problem (albeit with more catastrophic failure)

manuals are here but (as also metioned in the link above) the circuit diagram is too small to follow...

I used to do all this stuff but don't have as much test equipment/space resources any more as I work with computers more these days :cry:

your best bet would be to try and find someone local what does electronics repair (if they still have TV repair shops with the sort of old dude our grandads sort of age thats often the best bet!)
