Ok so I got this for a few weeks and were using it until it died on me 2days ago.

The light stays red and doesn't turn blue as shown in this video and video of only power cable connected. No sound is coming out of it so wondering anyone can guide me on where to look for repair or any cheap shipping option for me to return to hifi-express (God, all the shipping rates is around 1/3-1/2 the cost of this amp)?

Try Koba Electronics at People Park see if they can fix it.

Better check with seller. Should be replaced by seller instead of repaired. Few weeks only use is unreasonable.

I bought from hifi-express, so replacement is ***** ex on my end since need to ship back. Even singpost cheapest would be ~80 liao, 1/3 of the amp cost but time might take weeks to months lol. So trying to see if can fix locally.

Sabaj a20a is a class d amp, which I doubt normal repairman can fix. U see even tv nowadays are simply replaced rather than repaired.

Seriously looking for repairman will cost u both time and risk u getting ripped off. Sabaj a20a costs less than S$300. Doubt anyone will do any repair work for much less than that. Might as well get replacement unit.

Personally I would first contact seller for replacement claiming defective product. Last resort then I will make warranty claim on manufacturer side.
