Beolab 8000 Mk 2 has red LED but won't trigger amp with rca signal.

Hello, I am new to the forum so forgive me if I missed a thread or am posting on the wrong place.  I have a set of 8000s with one speaker working normally when connect via RCA input.  The other speaker has a red led and won't power on the amp out of standby.  I performed all of the RCA cable swap and testing the line outputs, ruling out bad cables or connections.  Thinking that it was the PCB 05 board (RCA input) I swapped it with the working speaker and the PCB 05 worked normally from the nw speaker.  I also swapped the PCB 06 LED standby board as well as the PCB 2 power supply board.  The only boards that I didn't swap were the amp boards.  It is difficult to source parts.  I do have some soldering skills and very basic Multimeter knowledge.  Does anyone have any experience repairing the amp?
Greg, I have the same problem, did you resolve. Andy
