    Yamaha XP7000 Crackling in left channel

    Hi guys,

    I have a problem with the power amplifier Yamaha XP700, I hope someone can help or point me in a direction.

    The amp started occasionally to crackle in the left channel which in a short time period got more frequent and after a while the crackling occurred instantly on power on.
    While checking for loose connections the amp's protection kicked in and turned the amp off. From then the protection turned the amp off in between 1 - 5 seconds after power on.

    I switched the mono blocks for a test to make sure the error is in the block itself and not maybe in the input module or power supply.
    Removed the heatsink and found some burnt out components (Q207, R216 and R224. Replaced them. Protection doesn't kick in anymore but the crackling is still there.
    Replaced for a test the 3 audio caps (C225, C211, C213), Q205 and also the op-amp IC201 without any result.

    Can someone help?

    * (Besides a digital multimeter I don't own any equipment so my possibilities are quite limited.)

    you could try heating and cooling different areas .

      Yeah I was also thinking on that but I'm a bit worried I might burn again the protection circuit components if I turn the amp on for longer than a few seconds and since the crackling occurs instantly, it doesn't look to me like a thermal related issue.
      I have also removed the heatsink to be able to access the board from the bottom and I don't know how long I can run the block without to destroy the output transistors.

        you cant run it even for less than a second without the heatsinks as it will destroy the transistors

          check the transistor numbers against lists of known noisy ones

            Yamaha RX-A3010 left channel no signal
            by HelpMeRepair
            Hi everyone , I have a rx-A3010 that all alllll the channel working except of Front left , if someone can lead me on what to begin wit it would be very helpful

            what I did so far ,

            factory reset
            test all other channel
            tone test
            dissasemble and look , visual inspection witout full dissasembly
            looked at all the mosfet for temperature to see if they eas operating
            scratch my head couple of time

            thanks in advance all help is appreciated , service manual are welcome too ! =)...

            HH Scott Model A510 Stereo Integrated Amplifier/ Graphic EQ - Blowing fuses in the LEFT speaker channel only. Any Help???
            by Sik_6ty_Sixx
            So like the title says, I have an old Stereo Receiver/Amplifier that I picked up from the goodwill, it's a HH Scott Model A510. When I first got it home it had zero output. Opened it up, notice the fuses are missing. Pop in 2 new fuses (AGC4A 250V) and try again, within 5 seconds the L channel fuse POP! I don't see any visible indications of damage or arc burns on the PCB, no popped resistors or diodes, no burnt traces or blown out caps. So I decide to just try another new fuse, POP. Swapped around my R and L speaker wires, and checked the integrity of all wires and connections. Everything looks...

            Denon AVR 1908, High pitch noise on Surround back Left channel after long overhaul
            by karatzdi
            Hello,

            I know some might say... just buy another one. Sell it as parts..!

            So had this AMP for quite some time. Recently I saw light smoke coming out of the AMP. Had my fire extinguisher close by. Just kidding. Turned immediately all devices off from mains.
            Let things cool a bit, and opened up the amp device. I clearly saw on the main board which hosts the 5X amp (5.1), 3 10 ohms 1W resistors had their leads looking black, while the rest of the remaining 2 x 10 ohms were brownish as being installed from factory.

            Spent some time downloading the Service...

            Yamaha Stagepas 300 PA system repair
            by DAVEMAC02
            I have a Yamaha Stagepas 300 PA system with the left channel out. There are separate power inputs to each Power Amplifier. I repaired the left channel amplifier so both work. However, I still have no left channel output to speaker. Both speakers are good. I have a multimeter and an old Radio Shack signal tracer for troubleshooting and that's it. I checked all voltage inputs to both amps and they match. Don't know how to proceed to check or trace signals or voltages at amp outputs BEFORE they go to speakers. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance, Dave

            Yamaha RX-V775WA right channel crackling
            by mayhem1328
            Before I dive into this project I just wanted some other input.

            I have a Yamaha RX-V775 receiver that is starting to act up. I’m getting a crackling noise on the right channel (front and rear). I’ve switched speakers at the rear of the receiver and confirmed it’s the receiver, as the crackling stays on the right output.
            The crackling sound is when there is audio out, not during silence. It is amplified with higher volume. Inputs do not make a difference. Whatever the input is, it’ll make the slight annoying crackling tapping (scratching) sound....
