Any way to fix it?
It looks like it has computer chips in it so I am thinking its dead...
with the leads and actual voltage or resistors it does the same thing.

The problem must be related to the last time it was used. Was it overvoltaged or was it spiked?
Look near where the input jacks are and see if there is a burned resistor or a damaged MOV type component.
