I think there's a snowball's chance that you'll track down a manual.
Actually I'd say there's a snowball's chance that a manual even exists,
much less getting a hold of one.  Then there's the potential language issue.

Assuming you're comfortable working on this and know enough to stay away
from the AC supply ... sorry, I should have noticed the call sign
earlier.  That probably means what I'm about to suggest is what you
would have done anyway.

Pull the rear cover.

Find the audio amp if you can.  Presumably it's an integrated class D
amp.  Post the part number here if you find it.

Look for a datasheet.  If you can find one, consider that a minor miracle.

Feed an audio signal into the monitor.  My preference would be the 3.5
mm jack.

Probe the audio amp, looking for the line level audio.  Check the supply
pins too.

Discover that the amp is dead.

Order a replacement part.  This is where the major miracle occurs.

Replace the part and cross your fingers.
