Help with Icepower 1200as2 amp please!

Hello everyone! I am having an issue with my Icepower 1200as2 module. I have ran this amp for a few years and all of a sudden it starts going into a standby mode, then comes back on for a little while, then back to standby even when a signal is passing through. When I first built this DIY project using the 1200as2 module, I hooked up 2 LEDS on the front of the chassis. When first powering up the amp, the amber LED would light up until a signal was picked up through the RCA interconnects circuitry?  So if I wasn't playing anything through the amp, the amber LED would light up and stay on until a signal was detected. I really don't want to trash the module, so if I can get some help to perhaps fix this issue, I'd be very grateful and appreciative! Thanks for any help!

Best,

Jacques

I have a Hypex waiting for a cabinet, but honestly I really like the ICEpower AS series and think they are underrated

I do like the sound from my 1200as2, but not much I can do at the moment as it continues to be erratic with the switching. Perhaps someone may be able to give me some help in diagnosing my issue. 

Have you looked at the iancanada modules for building a DAC stack on the DIY forum? Seems like the components he offers are top notch. Was waiting on some component boards to get finished and ready to purchase so I can have some options when using different connector types for input and output on my rig.
