Receiver shuts down as soon as I turn it on

I "inherited" a damn nice receiver, top of the line yamaha from 2001 I would think. Has dolby digital and DTS. But here's the problem, it shuts down and powers off some 2-3 seconds after turning it on.

Normally I would point to protection setting it off, but it does this when absolutely nothing is connected. No speakers, no nothing, just a power cord.

Any thoughts? Internal fuse?

It has physical bridges between pre-out and amp-in. I'll get model number.

Open it up? As a wild guess I would think it's a bad power supply or blown caps.
 
I had an onkyo that did that... It was under warranty so I disconnected everything took it to a service center, said it was fixed... plugged it all back in set it all up and it started doing the same thing in less than a week.

They claimed it was bad solder joint. I never got around to fixing it since hooking everything back up and setting it all back up again takes a while ... I eventually threw it out with the trash and bought another amp.

My first receiver would do that after warming up. I sent it out for a costly repair and it was fine for a bit then did that too. I like Onkyo's but man I hated that thing. My new receiver is a Denon.

I've had plenty of amps repaired. They are never fully back to functional IMHO.
