Ok so im new to the forum as far as posting but been looking around trying to find out if I missed something when I replaced a few IRFZ44N's in my amp.
Back story: I took the amp apart to do some cleaning seeing as its an older amp, lost grip of a screw and it landed on one of the fets causing a spark, followed by smoke, etc...
I de-soldered the original and re-soldered a new one in. Plugged it in and Pop, Pop, Pop.. 3 more of em blow further done the line. Replaced those plugged it in and 5 seconds later pop. Same fet I replaced the first time blew again. Looked through the forums and read about bad gate resistors. Checked the board and from the looks of it cant find one that looks bad. Heres just a quick few pics I took of the board. Hoping someone give me an idea what to check next.
