How can I fix my Aiwa MX-Z3300M Stereo integrated amplifier?

I have an Aiwa MX-Z3300M amplifier connected to the following pieces of equipment:
FX-WZ7300 cassette deck, TX-Z9300 tuner, DX-Z9300M cd player and a PX-E850 turntable.
2xSX-FZ3300 speakers
My problem is that when I switch the amp. on all I get is a hum from the speakers. The display panel on the amplifier does light up but very faintly at first getting brighter as time goes on. I have managed to get both the turntable & the CD working but as soon as I switch off and back on again the same old problem occurs. Any ideas as to what it could be and how do I fix it, I am reluctant to throw it away without at least trying to repair it.

Following on from my original question re. my faulty amplifier. Earlier last week I happened to glance at another site and found the exact same problem had been asked, the answer given was that it was probably a faulty capacitor. The person whose amp. it was tried the solution and it worked so I thought I would give it a go. I promptly took the amp. apart desoldered the suspect capacitor and soldered a new one in its place, lo and behold after 5yrs my amp now works again. The Capacitor in question was a 33 micro Farad, 50v, 85°, above resistor no R15. It has taken an awful long time to get it fixed but it was well worth the wait. One point, the replacement capacitor is a 105d not an 85 as previous, hopefully it will last longer.
