i got this powered mixer years ago when i was about 15. i didn't have any speakers for it and being young, hooked up whatever i could get my hands on; all at once. i have since, learned my lesson about resistances, series and parallel circuits, etc. my problem is i've replaced a transistor, a resistor, and a triac. but i still can't get it to do anything. two of my resistors get so hot they start to glow... inside their ceramic casing. the resistors are still good, but i have no idea what to look for now. my instincts tell me that it's grounding out somewhere but everything looks fine... i'm ready to trash it, but i really don't want to... it worked great when there wasn't some teenager messing with it.
