Connect the wires and remove the 22R's.

Wires need to be as it is before.

But to do this u need to solder the output stage mate.
So solder in the out put transistors properly.

Don't worry, if u follow me, u will be fine.

Just put everything back together...and post back. Do not power up.

I dont have output transistors yet. They should arrive tomorrow

 

First the amp should be like new, meaning all the components should be in place. Good fuses replaced and all tht.

Next see the attached file.
I want u to find the two wires tht connects the bridge to the capacitors.
Find them and mark them.
And show me how u marked.

 

We'll do this ones u replaced the out put stage.
Till then ...Cheers

 

Okay i have output transistors in place. What do i do now

i marked the +/- wires with electrical tape

 

very Good.
Now keep the wire marked connected.

I presume that marked connection are the wires coming from the bridge to the caps!

Next disconnect the rest of the positive and negative wires, but remember to keep them connected at the ends. Do not leave the rest of the positive wires tht u just disconnected separate. Joint them and put some solder and tape them carefully. Do the same to the negative wires.

I like to see what u did. I need to do this carefully, so u are protected always.
Please be calm and learn OK.

Okay. I disconnected the wires from the caps except the ones that are marked. Then I soldered those wires together and put electrical tape around them

 

Can u show me a pic. I will need this pic to show what to do next.

 

After taking a picture.

I want u to measure the capacitor voltage at positive and negative sides. The positive and negative DC voltages.

Be Careful not to touch the capacitor pins as the voltage is enough to give u scary shock.

Keep the disconnected wires as it is and apply power.

Post ur voltages.
Next disconnect power and uses the 22R resistor to discharge the two capacitors completely by touching the resistor pins across each capacitor for a few seconds one after the other.

 

Can u show me a pic. I will need this pic to show what to do next.

Later. My internet is acting up, so in using my phone which wont let me upload pics

 

okay heres the picture

 

Recheck post #130.

I need the voltage values

 

Recheck post #130.

I need the voltage values

Okay i have about +/- 36V on the caps

 

discharge them...I am at work, I will post once I am home

 

K, I discharged them.

 

Sorry I am still stuck at work and this PC does not have any photo editing soft's so I have to explain it to u.

The voltage levels are OK.

Make sure the caps are discharged.
Take the 22R resistor and connect it between the cap positive and the positive disconnected wires.
In short the resistor should be in series with amp positive rail.
Do the same for the negative side.

So now you have two 22R resistor in the ± voltage rails.
Any current drawn by the amp will pass through the resistors whether it's positive or negative or both.

I will be comfortable if u can show me the connections clearly.
Then I will post the whole trouble shooting points that you will need to follow.

OK. I connected the 22R resistor in series with the disconnected wires, like u asked me

Now u have to use ur senses for this test.

Keep the volume down. Speakers disconnected.

Power up the amp and see tht if u can touch the two 22R.

It should be warm and U should be able to keep ur finger on them without burning them.

If one or both get's two hot to touch then there is a problem.
In this case u should be quick to cutt off power completely before the resistors burn.

If u the resistors just warms up and stays that way. Keep the power connected observe for around 15 minutes.

Use ur nose and eyes for this. Keep touching the resistors to see if they are at normal heat level. It might get a bit warm as time goes by cause I don't think u have 5W R's.

If the heat does not rise suddenly then all is almost OK.

I need u to keep the amp till it idles to normal temperature and that is around 15 minutes without in put but powered up.

Post back ur results

the resistors get pretty warm, but not to hot to touch.
