Pioneer Stereo Amp SA-510 Dead right channel...help!!!

[sk8man121]

Hello...I just acquired a used Pioneer Stereo Amp SA-510. It's a great little amp, except the right channel is pretty much dead. It barely works, and the only way to get it to fire is to kind of hit the amp, and it is getting worse and worse. Local tech wants $120 to fix, and I only paid $60 for it. Can anyone PLEASE give me some advice as to how I can fix this myself?

Basically I have not come across this amp however you could try these tips
Have you opened the amp? Check for any dry solder joints. I say this bcoz you say that it fires after you "Hit". Once u open it you will find two IC's in it fitted to a heat sink. The IC with reference to the right channel may have blown, replace it. In case it has only one IC then you will have to replace that single IC.
