Right Channel on Receiver doesn't work

Hi,
Ok here's the deal. My 2 year old cranked the volume on my 2 channel rig and my wife turned it on and couldn't turn it down or turn it off for about 30 seconds and now the right channel doesn't work at all. At first I thought that the speaker just blew, but after trying another speaker I realized that the right channel is gone.
What do I do? Are there fuses inside the receiver at all?
I am planning on opening it up and taking a look, other than that I do not know what else to do. Is there anything else I should look for? I know little or nothing about the insides of electronics, and most likely cannot fix it myself. Just looking for anything simple I may be able to do so that I do not have to buy another receiver. However if anyone has one for a decent(cheap) price I may consider.
I have seen a Yamaha RX-V850 for $150 used locally, but not sure about the unit as I can't seem to find any specs at the Yamaha site. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated as well.
Thanks,
David

It would help if you told us what receiver you have.Political Correctness'.........defined

Man, I didn't even know Philips made a receiver. You probably fried the output devices, but there could be a fuse or two inside. Pop the top and take a look around for a bad fuse. Other than that, it would cost you more to repair it than it's worth.Political Correctness'.........defined

special note, not to insult you, but just in case, please have the unit unplugged when you pop the lid off

If you wind up taking it to a repair shop......be careful unless you trust them. A shop tried to take me for over $300.00 for a simple push of the button fix one time.Denon #2900, Denon stereo receiver, Conrad Johnson Sonographe 120 amp, Blue Jeans cables, and Klipsch RF-7's

Thanks for the replies. I figure it will probably end up in the trash, but I had to ask, it has been a great 2 channel receiver. I still haven't had time to take it apart, all I can do is take a look at it.
Thanks again,

I use a Technics SA-AX6 Dolby Pro Logic 5.1 receiver with several Technics music sources and four Polk Audio R30 floorstanding speakers with a Polk Csi25 center channel speaker. One input device, a 110 disc CD player, was recently reconnected to the system after being used elsewhere. On reconnection, all signal from this device goes through my receiver into the front main right speaker, while all other speakers get no signal. I triple checked and found no cross channeling or phase problems. The problem is unique and exclusive to signal from this CD player. I would appreciate guru thinking as to what may have happened here, and ideas about a possible cure.

Davidv--Give her a proper burial, then jump on Audiogon.com and welcome yourself to the wonderful world of seperates. Check out NAD, Rotel, Parasound, B&K, for starters, there is so much out there for so little dough to those who research and have patience.
