CRATE Power Block Bass Amplifier Repair

Repair of a Crate amp - the main Class D power IC had failed so needed to be replaced - God awful design - Never will work on another one took forever to get apart and put back together

I just took mine out of storage to find very low volume. Worked fine when put away years ago. I am not very experienced at electronic repairs but can fix basic issues. Any idea where to start looking?

Thanks for posting. Wish you had shown the test process leading to the IC.
