Huh. I'd suspect cold solder joints or loose cables/connectors on the
power supply. (Tapping on it makes a brief connection and gets power to
the audio amps briefly resulting in the "pops".)

Check the voltage rails to see if the voltages are right-- if any are
missing or off I'd give the power-supply a thorough visual inspection
and see if you can spot loose connections and/or broken solder joints.
