AMP KEEPS BLOWING
Most likely a bad ground connection, clean up where the ground is connected to the vehicle, check the power wire connections too, if that doesn't help route the ground wire to either the chassis or the battery to get a lot better connection, also possibly if you have the amp on full gain (max power) it may be getting a surge from your vehicle which means turn to down a little or get a capacitor.
Help
Those signs are not a good sign. From what you have posted, I would say your amp is toast. Check to make sure your subs aren't blown. Hook up a separate speaker to each channel to make sure it isn't your subs. Check your RCAs to make sure you don't have a nick in them some where. Just get any pair of RCA's that you know are good and run them directly from the head unit to the amp. Good luck.

Same problem
If your head unit has a separate setting for a non-fader then make sure that that is turned up and check the gains on the amp if the gain is all the way down you wont get any output. And if the gains are down only turn it about 3/4 of the way up, never all the way. If you are getting signal from both channels but it is faint, it is most likly not the RCAs or the RCA jacks. I would say it is a gain issue or a bad amp. Let me know how it goes. Good luck.

Jensen vm0312 is on, but tray will not flip up
It sounds like there may be an issue with the mechanical components of the DVD player, specifically with the tray. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
- Check to see if the emergency eject feature is working. There should be a small hole on the front of the DVD player, and you can use a paperclip or a similarly sized object to push the button inside. This should manually eject the tray.
- Make sure that the DVD player is receiving power. Double-check all of the connections and fuses.
- Reset the DVD player by disconnecting the power for a few minutes, then reconnecting it and trying again.
- If none of the above steps work, it may be necessary to take the DVD player apart and check the mechanical components for damage or wear. However, this is not recommended unless you have experience with electronics repair.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to seek the assistance of a professional electronics repair technician.
