Need help with broken Sony Receiver

I’ve listened to countless hours of music using my old Sony STR-VX550 but recently I tried turning it on and it just didn’t work. Almost everything on the small display was lit up and a loud buzz came through my speakers. I haven’t changed anything, it just stopped working. I’ve tried unplugging it and plugging it back in, different outlets, leaving it on for hours, leaving it off and unplugged for days but none of that works. Does anyone know what could’ve caused this and if there’s any solution for this.

That thing looks 1980’s vintage.  How do you feel about going through the PCB with a probe and a multimeter looking for bad components to desoldering and swap out?

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.
