    wonky Onkyo TX-NR717

    Hi all,

    I'm in the process of negotiating a buy of a wonky 717 so I can't be absolutely sure which symptoms it shows, but I could benefit from any help in troubleshooting.

    According to seller the unit shuts off all sound but after a power off/on it would work again for a while.

    As I'm aware of the HDMI-board problems and Onkyo repair service, I have no problems of buying a unit with such a problem. The fix is easy (ship it out) and free, so no hassle. But any other problem in the unit might pose 'a challenge' for me, since no experience in electronics repair.

    Any help is appreciated.

      It sounds like the classic "No Audio" symptom which is covered by the customer care program. Ask the seller if the speaker icons on the display disappear when the sound cuts out to verify.

          That's what I also thought....

          So I went over, asked to hook up the unit only to power and turned it on.
          Display read "Check SP-wire" and the unit turned off.
          Seller turned the unit back on and within a second we had a show: pop, crackle, sparks and smoke!
          Pulled the cover and found scorch marks and some physically blown apart parts....
          Must be the infamous bad caps around the last amp.

          Probably above my level of expertise to attempt repair so I left the seller with a really low-ball offer. We''ll see what he want to do.
          But I'm thinking this guy knew there was more going on than just a wonky HDMI-board.

              transistors, resistors are also blown, not just caps.

                  Take it apart and repair it. It's not that hard.
                  Check all(!) the parts, on the vertical board(on the bad channel only) and the ones on the main board between the vertical board and the two final transistors. Replace the bad ones and adjust the idle current, to the service manual spec and you are done.

                      I'd like to try and repair this one, but the seller is holding out for better offers.....
                      We'll see if he wants to change his mind.

                      Meanwhile I came across a 616 with the usual HDMI-board problems: it's now off to Onkyo and should be back in a week or two.

                          Repair of an LG split AC system indoor unit PCB
                          by ngml
                          I am trying to repair an LG split AC indoor unit, which does not start and gives a CH05 error code.
                          This indicates an error in the communication between the outdoor and the indoor unit.
                          The outdoor unit is fine, so the problem is the indoor PCB.
                          The indoor unit is an LG PC09SQ NSJ (3SNM09JA2FA), and the PCB has the following type number: EAX35907219-1.2 (see photo1)
                          I changed optocouplers ICO1X & ICO2X and the NPN transistor S9013 which drives optocoupler ICO2X (see photo2), but this did not remedy the fault.

                          Does anybody have the schematics of this board,...

                          Bose Companion 5 - Unit Powers On then Cuts Off Shortly After
                          by nobbnobb1
                          Hi guys,

                          Trying to salvage a Bose Companion 5 computer speaker system that powers off shortly after powering on. It's got a primary USB input (built in DAC) and an aux 3.5mm input. The USB appears to be the primarily source that tells the unit to power on (control pod LED goes green) as the unit has no power switch.

                          When I first connect power to the unit, plug in the USB, it will play audio nicely for a minute before it drops out and the unit appears to go into standby (control pod LED goes red). It stays in standby and I cannot seem to power it back on without physically...

                          Onkyo HT-R390 no sound output, video output ok
                          by FrancescoV
                          Good morning everyone,
                          I'm trying to repair an onkyo ht-r390 that has no sound output, despite the volume being at maximum, the rest seems to work; the video output signal (coming from an hdmi input) is present, but the audio is absent. Similar situation if I send an audio signal from any input I have no output.

                          The firmware reported is the following:
                          M:1.00/11107BLP
                          D:?.??/????????
                          O:1.00/11107AL

                          The DSP firmware given the question marks seems corrupt.

                          On the BCHDM-0678 - 25140678 - QPWBCHDM0678A0 board the chip that usually seems...

                          Air-conditioning unit power supply failing to power up
                          by Gjackson
                          Hi all, I managed to narrow down which PCB was causing my Haier AC to throw out an E7 error code (E7 indicates that the indoor unit and outdoor unit cannot communicate). I found that the outdoor unit power board which gives 5v and 15v to the outdoor unit module board fails to fully power up.. The power Led starts to fade in incredibly slowly and the 5v and 15v power buses jump around like crazy and never reach their required voltage. I unplugged the module board from the power board and the power board powered up fine! It had a steady 5v and 15v out and the power LED came on instantly and Bright....

                          Remember that cheap $15 PSU that dmill89 posted a while back here?
                          https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=72229
                          .
                          .
                          So I was randomly browsing on eBay (as always) and saw a listing for supposedly the same “775 Watt” PSU with starting bid at $1. Description stated “for part or repair”, with the owner/seller mentioning the PSU had blown/shorted. Surely I could spend a few $$ more and get the same PSU as dmill89 right from Amazon brand new and (probably) working… but where is the fun in that?!

                          So I got this one instead...
