Welcome to AAC!

This is where you begin. You have to stop blowing fuses. You cannot trouble shoot an amplifier if the fuse keeps blowing.

1) Disconnect all speakers.
2) Disconnect all input devices and turn the volume control down to zero.
3) Wire up a house lamp test circuit as shown below. Plug the amplifier into the substitute outlet. Instead of the fuse blowing, the bulb will shine bright.
4) Get the circuit schematics of the amplifier.

Hi,
check two big power transistors, covered with grey silicone caps, fixed on the aluminum heatsink. And diode bridge, it's close to the two big electrolytic capacitors. Check with multimeter in diode test mode
