Disassembly And Repair Of A QSC RMX 1450 Power Amplifier

One day during rehearsal, one of my power amplifiers started having trouble, so I put it on the bench to see if I could fix it. This teardown looks inside a QSC RMS 1450 Power Amplifier. It involves some cleaning, some testing, and some luck! I also get to drag out my oscilloscope, which is always exciting! Can I get this amplifier running again so the band can get back to work?
