Need help with amp!

so i just bought an amp off ebay and it was deff. used. but looks like its in good condition. well i get it all hooked up and it deff doesnt work... so i try one of my buddies amps and it works so i know its not the wiring. so i took the pioneer apart and tried to see if i could find anything burnt up or poped, and i cant find anything... no fuses blown or anything. anyone have any clue what might be wrong with it?

most likely it's toasted, did you sniff it?

and you may not be able to see something that would cause it not to work. did you bench test it too?

You can take it to a shop and have them bench test it for cheap. They may be able to repair it if it's broken.

ya your not going to repair that buy urself. not only do you have no idea wtf is going on internally pioneer amps are a bitch to repair with all the equiptment you dont have. So if your 100% sure its the amp hit up the ebay seller again and see what you can do. otherwise look for a competent repair shop or possibly have it bench tested
