Mixer issues

Not sure if this is in the right spot. If not please relocate it.

I have been borrowing a Carvin powered mixer 6 channel model. Now it is time to return it. I figured I would test it out before returning the mixer. It powers up, but only produces a very faint crackling sound. Sometimes the sound when come through but it is distorted and sounds similar to a telephone.

I have tried different speakers and the issue persists.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
Speakers work for sure, and cables are good. I double checked by using the ones from my bass rig. Took it apart and put it back together. It seems to be working now! Hopefully it stays working.
