I got this amp a while ago and now that im testing it, its heating very quickly, qnd the led is blinking, which i suppose should be, ik an amp is supposed to heat up a bit but not to the level that i could burn the finger when touched, i have add the pics, if anyone could help revive it, that would be a great help, also i did attached my testing speaker to see if there was any noise when i turn it onn, but there wasn't any.

Which terminals did you attach it to?
I see L+, L-, R+, R- on the underside of the board. I'm guessing it's a bridge-tied output.
 
Your amplifier appears to be well used and not new.
Where did you get it?
Was it said to be working?

There should be a heatsink mounted on top of the IC.

Look at this one, which seems to be very similar to yours:

My best guess is that the IC is damaged.

But, have a look here:




Is that a solder blob shorting two pins together?

Mann, i didnt even saw that, also i did bought and used it for a while, it been like 8-9 month since then it was in my bucket with all the other apms, ik i it works for sure but now that im using it, its not working, ill look into that pin shorting problem, and mann even i didn't notice that, thanks for noticing and pointing it out for me, ill update what happen next, and yes it also got a heatsink like that but ik for sure that class d ics like that aren't supposed to leave a burn mark on the finger when touched
 
Not much help for the amp you've probably killed, but to avoid burnt fingers NEVER just touch something you suspect is hot with a dry finger - lick your finger first, and if it's hot you'll hear the saliva 'boil' before it has time to burn you.
