Basically my friend had just had his amplifier repaired (he is a bit careless)

He was placing the amplifier in the car, and basically he was giving power to the amplifier while the car was on...

I don't know what he exactly did but he is saying that he by mistake touched or overchanged the plus or negative terminals.

The amplifier fell in protect mode and is stuck there.

So basically i have a situation where no RCA or speaker cables are attached and the amplifier is still in protect mode.

The amplifier is a 2channel amplifier branded Boschmann.

Now i opened up the unit and figured out the various power supply transistors and output transistors with the other various components.

If i understood well in such situation it is most like that the output transistors are shorted.

Thus i tested with the multimeter set as diode check.

The output transistors type is BD912 and complementary BD911.

The ohmage between the legs of the transistors 1-3, 1-2, 2-3 are all in the megaohm range while regarding the voltages achieved in diode check,

between legs 1-2 and 1-3 it is 0.481v while between legs 2-3 it is 0.745v

These are the values that read for the output transistors, can anyone describe me what they mean?


I also gave a look to the power supply transistors type IRFZ24N

between legs 1-2 it is in the kohm range, between legs 1-3 it is 320ohm, while between legs 2-3 it shows 0ohm.

Can anyone give me a help what shall i do to repair it?

 

Can you post the model # of the amp? Maybe we can find a schematic.

 

on the board i have written AP-2300TB, the model of the amp is PCH-2600SX

Thanks

 

The IRFZ24N is a power mosfet N-type with an internal diode across the drain and source (pins 2-3) so should read 0.7 volts on diode test one way and open circuit other way

if its short circuit it may be blown, you need to unsolder it and test it.

as for the bd911/ bd912 these are a "matched pair" of transistors one is PNP the other is NPN, (these must be changed together,) so you need to reverse your meter leads to get the same results on the PNP as you do on the NPN.

 

i got one of the power mosfets of from the board, it is giving me 0.539volt between pins 2 and 3 and giving me OL when i reverse the probes. Is that ok? Should i take one of the bd912 transistors off the board to test them correctly?

 

i took the BD912 off, i am getting OL between pins 2 and 3 now, while on the board i read a voltage output of 0.745v

 

any help????
