I got a Beomaster 8000 with a dead left channel.

Done some testing:
- The big 10000 uF caps store 56V on both sides.
- The left idle current trimmer measures 6mV no matter how the trimmer is turned.
- The problem is with headphones and speakers
- The left amp heatsink is ice cold while the right one is lukewarm.
- The problem is with radio, and both tape inputs.

 

What should i check next?

Thanks

I'd say first things first, solder joints under the left amp PCB.

I've re attached the 2 cables to the big caps. They were hidden and taped off to prevent someone hurting. 

When i powered the amp, one resistor just exploded even before i could change or measure anything. I will look at the schematics and measure the whole pcb now before i will power it on again.
