amp wont turn on

soooooo...whoops....while testing speakers to see which wires were front,back, left and right...i had the power on..how else would i check....

so when all was said and done..the damn screwdriver phillips tip decided to slip off the screwdriver...it fell exactly on the ground and 12v screw....making contact on both...

now my amp wont turn on....the fuse on the amp didnt blow (never does..what is it for anyways?) and the fuse by the battery didnt either..wtf.. what should i look for ...i opened the amp and cant see anything wrong ...

Amp is fried...

You should have done it the correct way by just hooking up one pair of speaker wires at a time and just marking them...

Shut the amp off whenever you mess with the connections... If you don't, you're asking for exactly what happened, which is a fried amp...

Chances are the fuses ARE fried, but don't look like it. Replace them anyway, and retest.
