Those "loops" as you refer to are actually inductors of a very small value.
They are in all intent a passive component. The size and shape derives the
inductance value. If you burned one out you were definately sinking some heavy
current, check your output transistors as you prob cooked at least
first thing i would check would be aging solder joints, all the expansion and
