With out a schematic the Repair hunt is on, Caps go Short, Resisters go Open, Other Components lead to head scratching, But Richard Finds ways to test or replace them all, Till it all work Fine again, So now the customer is happy and Richard is shore it's a REPAIR JOB WELL DONE.
Electronic repairs is like being a detective. Sometimes you go down the wrong road only to find a dead end, then you find another dead end and after some time you find the problem by a process of elimination. Then you say to yourself "if I'd only gone down that road first I could have finished the job in 10 minutes".
The advent of lead free/reduced lead solder has created the potential for poor connections. Having dismantled failed LED lamps I have found not only blown single LED's but also failed solder joints on the primary mains wire connection to the driver PCB
It goes to show the value of being systematic and keeping notes! This job was a dog though yeah? Comparing the two units and exchanging parts was useful but in the end it was the old peepers that spotted the bad component. Lucky it wasn't the Professional Nonsense Module! I gather you put an inordinate amount of time into the job for what it will pay, but you _will_ get paid, the client will be pleased to get his amplifiers back in good order, and your reputation as Electronics God of Gran Canaria is preserved for another day. Well done.
Reputation is key, you may lose abit of income on some jobs, but make it back on others, it is frutrating take jobs on without knowing the time schedule to repair them, and then replacing parts at the beginning at your own cost, but hey! that`s the job. sterling job, simple things catch out.

Forget the fixing and tracking down the fault and check out the dancing. 😁

You are a pro, no doubt, and you help others to go right through the wall of ignorance/inexperience, by showing things practically and logically!
Brilliant fault finding, well done Richard 😃
Loved the Northern Soul track David & The Giants - Ten Miles High. Interesting video.
