my fostex A8 won’t playback and record on track 2 ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS OR WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE IT WORKS FINE ON THE OTHER CHANNELS​

 
It could be any number of things. Assuming you're getting meter indication, I'd check your output connections 1st. Make certain your cable is still good. If so, apply a bit of pressure on that channel's jack to see if the internal connection is loose.
 
Bad relay? Did you re-seat the amp cards? Does the problem follow the swap or no? Thoroughly clean the heads with the right supplies?
 
I know the problem, the owner is yelling all the time…….just kidding :D

Check into the suggestions Sweetbeats made.

I think they’re accessed via a removable panel on the bottom of the deck…looking at the service manual (which is available for free on the internet, and if you don’t have a copy you should get it and study it, because I’m going to steer you toward that every time…) it looks like you remove the bottom panel and then there’s a retaining plate you remove and the cards unplug and slide out. Proceed at your own risk. I’m not telling you things you should do, but rather things you *can* do. I’m not responsible for any damage or negative outcome to you or your equipment. Make sure your deck is switched off and unplugged from power before opening it up and messing with it if you choose to do so.
