Hello!
Again, my "DIY spirit" messed everything- Trying to change the case of an old Pioneer compact system to a custom one, I made a short circuit (I assumed the system was disconnected from mains).
A spark jumped, the fuse didnt blew up.
Now, the amplifier is on silence. When I do connect the amplifier to any signal source, I start to hear a loud hum (even only connecting the cable with no load). The hum changes with the tone controls and balance, so this section survived.
The Radio and Aux functions didn't worked before, So I have no way to know anything about the healt of the amplifier
Some data:
- There is a big ceramic capacitor between the two poles of the master switch
- The master switch was off during the short
- Maybe the short was on the 120 / 240 selector, I'm not sure because I see no burns
- My home's mains is 120 v
I hope someone could get the model number looking this pictures
Please, Any suggestion?
