You have already proven the amp is shot.
Repair it or replace it.

Sounds like a blown input to me As in DC input transistors.

Wanna sell it?

 

thanks...do u guys know where or how much it would cost to fix and if its worth fixing ? im in the los angeles area...

 

Most shops run $100 or more. I moonlight fixing amps. What Part of LA? I usually can fix then for less then $75, but it depends on how much damage is done.

If you have some soldering skills fix it yourself. Amps are simple and parts shouldn't run more then $20 if that.

Take it apart and post some pics.
