I went to turn on my piece of crap fender frontman 15g amp and the switch wouldn't click. Therefore, the amp wouldnot turn on, the amp had no clicking noises but it could still be pushed in on both sides. I decided to take a flathead a pry the switch off. Some little parts under the siwtch attached to the switch came off but I have them they are not broken. I was wondering ifthere is any other way to turn on my amp by opening it up? AS you can see I am no expert so any help would be appreciatted ASAP!!! Please help I don't want to spend the money on a new 100 watt.

Hey zep dude... you could probably cross the power leads, but seriously would not do that as you could risk permanently damaging the amp. Do you know an electrician or someone with soldering experience? That might be another option, to just have someone fix it quickly (and cheaply), but don't take a chance at ruining it. How long have you had it?

i guess you need the help of the professional and don't touch anything so as to make it worst..

I don't think you should still cross the power leads. You could just replace the inputs you know.
