Recently I purchase a second hand 7.1 Surround Amp (Sony DA5300ES)
The guy who sold it to me paid nearly 3k for it, but sold it to me for 90 bucks, saying that it would drop out from time to time.
It has been working fine for me the last 2 months, but the other day it did drop out during a CD session
It dropped out with a loud pop in the speakers and then no sound. The front panel is still displaying fine.
I decided to open it up and do a blown capacitor hunt. The build of this thing is utterly amazing with stack of circuit boards and load of connector ribbons etc. Not to mention the over the top ammount of screws.
I was quite scared to pull it totally apart due to not been able to put it together again.
Anyhow I guess I'm asking if anyone has any suggestions of where I should be concentrating my inspection. So far it all looks OK. No brown bits anywhere. I'd much prefer brown bits. Oh and no obvious smell either
Going off the description of playing for a while then suddenly stopping with a pop, what does it sound like to you? Oh and if I turn it off and leave it for a while, it comes on again for a couple of minutes before doing the same thing?
Any suggestions?
