Do you have a digital multi-meter? feel comfortable pulling the chassis out and taking a picture?
It could be something very simple.
what i might try if I were you is giving the amp a solid whack with your fist, see if it pops back on, that could indicate that there is a loose connection.
if that doesn't work, it is likely more involved, and would helpful if you could take measurements, or at the very least some pictures.

I turned the volume up to about half and it quit . All I get now is a slight hum and some crackling sounds. No smoke , no smell just hum and crackle. I replaced all the electrolytic caps , still nothing but slight hum and crackle. I also tried a different speaker and got the same results. The hum and crackle do not increase if I turn up the volume. I would appreciate any help.
