Hello Boys and Girls,
I happen to have a Crutchfield Audio System in one of my vehicles and even though it's not that old nor has been used hard, it failed.
Out of curiosity (since it was junk anyway), I opened it up and did my usual visual inspection of the board and components.
To my surprise, I found a cracked 4855D Op Amp. There are 6 and only one appears to be cracked.
I have no idea if replacing it will repair it but it's worth a shot so I ordered a few of those and should get them within a week.
Questions:
When an Op Amp fails like this is it usually indicative that there's something else wrong? Why would an OP Amp crack like that?
Thanks
