Better have a tech look at it to see if it's a serious problem. I wouldn't use it until then.

Let's see if I understand what is going on. You have an integrated amp that is working intermittently, and the VU power meter is reflecting a power issue. If that is the case, your amp has failed, and you will need to seek service.

Thanks following up with me, it still able to power on, and play low volume at 50 but once it goes up to 40, the meter will soon flicking, and stop any sound output.
