loose parts means arcing and letting the smoke out...I doubt you have a bad solder, that means no connection. My guess is that something isn't secured like with a screw or heat sink bar. shake the amp once you unmount it...if something is moving around in there (like has come off the board) send it in. if something is just loose screw it back down.

Thanks for the help i opened it up today and come to find out it was only the fan to cool the inside what was loose and rattling when it came on.

should just be a computer fan...if the bearings have gone on it, you can go to any computer supply or electronics shop and get a 12v fan to replace it...easy fix.
