Is my amp dead?

My brother gave me an amp he got used and never tested, and it looks kind of old and is a no-name brand, so it's entirely possible that it's dead, but as I know sadly little about electronics, I thought I'd ask you guys. Using the test light, I know there is power going to it and that the ground is good. However, it isn't turning on. Does this mean it's dead? Could it have something to do with the remote lead? Unfortunately I don't have another amp to test with my wiring to see if it works.

Thanks.

if all fueses are good,

thene you can test it. pop the hood. use your battery. pos to pos. neg to neg. and put your rem to your pos.....if you still get nothing then its prolly fried

sorry man
 
Just tested it and I guess it's fried. Ah well, not a major loss: I got it for free from my brother who also got it for free. Time to fork out some dollars for a real one.

Thanks for the help. :)
