Hi,
You mentioned 3 receiver but the pictures is a smps power supply. - I've got 3 x Spiderbox 7000, The picture is of a power supply of one of them.
Do you have a knowledge if the output of the power supply is giving proper voltages. - No knowledge of that, I presume so, the receiver is auto booting and freezing.
Because the resistor in the receiver will blown if the supply output in the power supply is higher than the receiver voltage needed.
What is the value of the resistor and its wattage? It was R8 - orange, orange, red, gold, as it ballooned, oozed, it was unrecognisable. I think it was 3.135k. - 3.465k
Resistor will only be burned but not a ballooned.
O.K. Many Thanks, the ballooned resistor has been replaced in this unit (pictures), the other 2 resistors show the blown resistors.That's much better, give me a little bit of time and I will ask my ex business partner if we have a service manual or schematic. I don't see a "Ballooned" resistor, I wasn't too sure what you meant by that. Also I will look up the i.c and you can then check a couple of things. Be Very careful as you really need an isolating transformer when working on smp's. have a look at a thread I'm in the process of compiling. Bear with me and I'l see what I can do to get you going again.
Switch Mode Power supplies, My experience
The i.c marked Q2 is usually used to provide a separate supply for standby etc. and often damaged due to high esr capacitors, s/c diodes, etc

Have a look at the data sheet to give you an idea of how they are used. you will have to start checking a few voltages, and as I pointed out, Dangerous without an isolating transformer! just have a look at what I use when working on them!O.K. Many Thanks.
That sheet looks difficult to understand. I've bought an auto-range multimeter.Have a look at the data sheet to give you an idea of how they are used. you will have to start checking a few voltages, and as I pointed out, Dangerous without an isolating transformer! just have a look at what I use when working on them!

ic2 = KIA, 431A, 951Ok, in the other pictures I was not sure what you meant. Tell me the number on the device marked ic2, looks like a transistor near the resistor, also have a look underneath and tell me if the resistor connects to the opto coupler marked pc2 to the left of it in the picture where you replaced it.
O.K. will check the fuse and let you know.View attachment 133171
The fuse I was referring to is the one in the picture above. T2AL 250v. just let me know if it is blown, don't be tempted to wire it out and turn on if it is. After you have let me know if it is blown or not, I will see if we can identify the problem WITHOUT you having to connect it to the mains, but it will need very specific answers to a list of question I will ask. I've got a few things to do today, but will check back when I can.
