Hi all...
Same story, my friend gave me a P-95 with no sound. After reading this forum, I decided to take it and ordered the 16V 100uF capacitors online.
Before desoldering, I checked the caps inside the circuit, and indeed C216 is open circuit (shows "OL" on my meter).
With a bunch of spare caps, I decided that I changed all the same value caps: C216, C217, C404, C408 and C112.
Close back everything, powered ON, wow the beast is alive!!!
Happiness is shortlive, it was alive like 1-2min, while excitedly playing, I heard a faint *pop* sound. Then there's no more sound. The power LED is still lighted, but there's no more sound.
I opened up to inspect, there's no burn marks, the caps all still looks good. I measured C216, C217, C404, C408 and C112 again, they have some values, not "OL".
I'm an electrical person, but not very expert in it.
I don't have spare parts on hand, will need to order. looked through the other caps, the remaining ones on the board are:
- 50V 10uF
- 50V 4.7uF
- 16V 33uF
- 25V 47uF
So should I also replace the remaining other caps? I'm on the verge of throwing this to the trash.
Thanks for any advice..
