I've email Emotiva about repairing my LPA-1, but I was told it's too old and parts are not available.
Does anyone know where I could send it for repairs? The 12v trigger doesn't work, and some times it goes in to protection mode. Channel 5 flashes on/off red. If I turn it off and back on, it works fine until next time.
I'm located in Visalia, Ca 93277. Thanks for the help.

You would probably just have to find a local repair center around. You might look for someone who works on TV's as they will often work on other electronic equipment.

Sent out to George Meyer in LA. He's worked on several of these amps. He said good things about the LPA-1. He said Emotiva doesn't make them like they use to.

It REALLY depends on the part in question.
Most semiconductors, and virtually ALL caps and resistors have replacements available. Included with semiconductors will be OPAMPS which are fairly generic. The ONLY thing I can see being difficult to source would be a proprietary semiconductor or integrated circuit. Both of those are fairly difficult to 2nd source.
If a CIRCUIT BOARD is fried, best of luck.
If a relay is bad, that should also be still available.
MOST repair shops will charge for an 'estimate', so figure out in advance how much this piece is worth to you to fix. If you go AHEAD with the repair, the estimate charge will usually be waived.
Can you pry a schematic out of EMO's hot little hands? That'll REALLY help

Well, I've talked to George Meyers, and they spend a whole day trying to replicate the issue with my LPA-1, and he said they didn't find anything wrong with the amp, which now makes me believe my Denon AVR-X4200 might be the culprit. I've checked all the cables, and I even bought new speaker cables just to make sure the cables aren't the issue.
After I get my amp, reset the Denon X4200 to factory setting, re-run Audyssey, I will test it out again. I've spoken with Denon Tech Service, and they've told me to test it out again, and if it happens again to send out the AVR to George Meyers for testing. So, it's waiting issue now.
I'm just glad nothing is wrong with the LPA-1. I wouldn't be surprised if anything is wrong with the Denon. Denon replaced my previous two X4000, and the 3rd one they gave me a X4200. I'm actually thinking of getting a Power Conditioner.
