Faulty Sony XPLOD Audio Amplifier | Can I Fix It?

In this video we're going to be taking a look at a faulty Sony XPLOD audio amplifier Speaker which I bought from eBay. It was advertised as faulty, but there wasn't a description of what the actual fault is.

Let's take it apart, see if we can diagnose the problem, and hopefully repair it.

I'm not an expert, but I do enjoy trying to fix things.
