    Yamaha A-420 amplifier damaged from PC?

    Hi all,
    My Yamaha A420 it's dead!!!
    Here I think it's my fault, I've connect it on a PC without checking the soundcard volume output, that was at max volume.
    I turn on the amp and it came out like a frying sound at low volume slowly disappearing completely, even trying regulating the volume on the Yamaha amplifier. Until no sound came out.

    The max volume of the PC has burned something?
    Please, what is the first thing that I can check to replace inside the amp?

      It wouldn't be unheard of. They are somewhat prone to blowing output... About as often as a CR-640 has a habit of blowing power fuses.
      Things I've fixed: anything from semis to crappy Chinese $2 radios, and now an IoT Dildo....

      You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

      Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

          Sony HCD-HX80R Amplifier Volume Control Problem
          by crackedprint
          I have a strange fault on a Sony amplifier. The volume control varies the display from MIN, then 1 up to 30 and then MAX as expected. At MIN there is no sound. However, at 1 it is quite loud and increasing above 1 does not change the sound level.

          I have tried a Cold Reset as per the service manual.

          I have looked at the I2C clock and data to volume control chip IC501 (BD3499FV). Data is only sent to IC501 when the volume is set to MIN or 1. At any other setting no data is sent to IC501.

          I have looked all the way through the service manual and tried many online...

          Vizio D65x-G4 Volume changes on its own
          by karthur
          On this Vizio D65x, the volume will change on its own. I don't mean like during commercials where the volume will increase. I mean its like the (+) volume button on the remote is pressed and the actual volume dialog is displayed on the screen going up. It will do this, then the volume may start going down. It might go all the way to "0"or it might stop at a different number, then start going back up. The whole time its doing this, the volume dialog is shown on the screen.

          It wont do it until it has been "ON" for 20 or 30 minutes, so it does seem to be heat related....

          Marantz SR5007 popping on volume change and mute in Direct Mode
          by BigOof
          Hi,

          I bought a used Marantz SR5007 and it's giving me some issues that I can't seem to really place. It functions well in most settings, ARC mostly works, it has no issues driving my speakers in any of the digital input modes, but I'm having issues running analog inputs in direct or pure direct mode. For some reason in this mode there's distortion for every volume increment I give it, but once the volume is stable it has no issues. Muting creates a loud pop, switching to another source also causes a pop and so does turning off the amp in that mode. Again, no issue in the digital modes....

          Simple volume control for audio amplifier ?
          by Dannyx
          Good day folks. I want to run a Bose subwoofer and some random speakers on my PC at home. I don't have an amp for this project yet and I was looking for decent solutions and I figured I could very well run them on a car amp. Why not a regular hi-fi amp ? I figured a car amp would fit better under my desk. I looked at a Sony XMN1004 which is relatively affordable, yet of decent enough quality and with good reviews overall. Conveniently enough, this Bose Acoustimass 5 Series II sub (what a name) I have has two drivers inside, each with its own separate terminal, so I can hook it up to the Sony...
