Ht-c550 Show 'prot' And Shuts Off When Turned On, Even With No Cables Connected

Recently my Samsung HT-C550 receiver refuses to stay on. A few seconds after it's turned on, it will show the protection error 'PROT' display and shut off. I removed all speaker cables and all other audio/video cables, but the result is the same. Any link for a circuit schematic? Is there a component which can be changed to easily correct this problem? Can someone, anyone please HELP!?
