Hello,
Check the "BRIDGE" switch position, "IN" for "BRIDGE", "OUT" for "STEREO", and clean ALL back switches with a cleaning spray and then run the amp again, also check the two green lights activation at front, if they activate, then amp is certainly working, let me know further.
SOURCE: no output on the right side of the peavey 2600
Each channel is protected separately. I suspect that the outputs are fried on the right side or the output fuse has blown. This should be checked by a service shop.

Man, that's a tough one. Best answer I can give, it depends. It would take a tech looking at it and making an evaluation. Sometimes it just takes out the front end (preamps), sometimes it's worse.

Chances are you have NOT got all the bad parts out yet.
HINT: While cold starting an amp after it smoked, put a 150 wat lamp in series with the power cord to act as a current limiter... saves fuses and parts.
The DDT circuits PROBABLY look for amplifier DC balance AND no overload of power supply as protection.
They COMPRESS the audio when it goes above a certain level.
SO, to troubleshoot this you will probably need an oscilloscope.
LOOK for a supersonic oscillation that you cannot hear but MAY be driving the amps beyond the DDT trip point. Drive a pure low level sine wave into the amp and follow it through to see at what point the DDT compressor senses an out of range level.
Remember it HAS worked before, and there is still a bad part in the unit. DO use my suggestion to limit the current as often while troubleshooting this type problem, the signal will suddenly go to a point to fry something, then you get to replace all the parts AGAIN.

Either have it fixed or offer it up as broken at auction.
Estimating cost is near impossible, however labor could easily be aver $100.
The fan is controlled by a rather complex circuit depending on thermistor temp sensors. The temp sensors appear to also shutdown the amp.
If the fan comes on instantly, there MAY be a failure in this circuitry which is inexpensive parts...
Each side of the amp has 10 major power transistors and if all were blown it would add significant parts cost to the repair.
Testimonial: "Thank you for the information, I'll may have to send it away to a Peavey repair centre to get to the root of the problem, I'll have a think about it."
