Mackie 808M Monitor Amp issue

I accidentally started another thread entitled "Peavey 808M" and can't figure out how to remove it. It should be "Mackie". My apologies.

Anywho...

Long story short, I am having issues with the monitor amp of my 808m. When I first fire it up, it works fine, but after a short amount of time it stops working. The impedance is 8ohms, etc. I called Mackie support and after asking me the basic troubleshooting questions he stated that there seems to be an issue with that amp (which is what i though). However, it sounds like its a hell of a lot of money to get this thing fixed. Is there something simple that could cause this? Meaning, is it possible for me to take it apart and fix, even if I have no idea what i'm doing? lol

It's hard to justify paying $200 + to get it fixed when that is 1/3 of the price of a new one. Any suggestions?
 
The symptoms usually indicate an component that is failing once warmed up. Like any other equipment repair, you have to weigh the cost of repair vs replacement.
