Re: Onkyo HT-R690 AV Receiver Front Right Channel Not Working

I agree, but the only issue is I have many many other things and projects to repair so right now i just don't have the time for a project like that. I have roughly 18 TVs to repair at this time and I'm the only one working on them.

The thing is by learning how to work on one device it crosses over to other devices. It helps to reduce repair time and it increases the amount of devices that you will be able to repair. You don't try and learn it all at once. Just learn one thing at a time. When that is learned you move on to learning something else. Otherwise you will only be a parts swapper.

It becomes obvious that it is too hard for him to spend time after posting this:
'Come on dudes someone has to know where I could check from here. I would like to not throw this out if possible. I have been doing research and watching videos on troubleshooting, but still having issues. Please help." So I took the chance and look at 130 pages of the service manual pointing out how each page related to each other and where to test the signal, I suire spent lots of my times on this thread
Next when some one complaining about nothing getting help, I am going to ask first how SERIOUS the person is about trying to repair anything.
You need to pay your due, your times, effort, and commitment, otherwise you will not really learn anything.

I'm very sorry I spent your time. I do want to learn, but right now i have to clear out my room. Nobody here knows my situation so it's not fair to bad mouth me. If this would be an easy and faster repair great, but I can't spend that time right now I'm just to busy at the moment. I'm sorry I wasted your time. Sometimes the time it takes to fix something is not worth it as well. I got that unit for free it's only worth 200 if I have to spend many hours on it it's not worth it because I'm taking time from other things that will be less time for more money.

A person has to make a living. Your right we do not know your circumstances. When you can afford the time sometimes breaking even on a project do not matter.
Not just for the knowledge you will gain but for customer satisfaction and repeat customers.
I understand BudM's point in asking a person how committed they are.
I think it was also important that you did apologize.

Re: Onkyo HT-R690 AV Receiver Front Right Channel Not Working

Yeah, but the knowledge from learning is worth a lot more than that. Like I said some time I spend hours, days, or month on and off to figure what is going on, sometime I put it a side to clear my head and get back on it again later on.
You insisted on some one to give you the help and I did and I do not even getting pay for it and you worry about the money?
When I used to do repair work in the shop, I did lose money on the first unit when it is tough unit to work on, but once you figure it out, then when you see the same model again, then you know where to look right away because you apply what you learn form fixing the first unit..
Just like what info you get from Badcaps for free due to someone else has done the work and spends time to figure out, tracing out the boards and circuits just from the pictures provided and able to provide you the info for free so you do not have to spend hours or days on something you have never work on before.
Lots of people here have done that without getting any money and willing to share the knowledge.
Heck, I spent lots of times fixing something that is worth a lot less than my time spent, but the knowledge from it was worth far beyond.

I understand what you are saying.
You can not control what another person does or says you can only learn from the encounter. As my father use to say you can lead the horse to water, but you can not make him drink.

I appreciate and apologize for your time. What's your PayPal? I'll pay you for your time. Let me know how much you want. I'm here to get help and make friends I don't want people to not like me and I would like people to help when I need. I didn't think I would upset so many people by giving up on the receiver. I also gave up because I wasn't understanding the schematics, the block diagrams nothing. I was looking at them and couldn't find nothing. The boards on the unit didn't even match with the part numbers in the manual. Also was afraid or getting hurt having to build it with no case to test. This is a receiver I'm sure those caps have quite the charge not like an LCD TV that takes bugger all stay away from led driver and inverter your golden in a receiver I dunno what to stay away from. So I thought about all that and I thought it's not worth risking my safety etc.

Re: Onkyo HT-R690 AV Receiver Front Right Channel Not Working

I have never managed to put these together without a chassy(for measuring). I just measure the suspected components and replace the bad ones.
You should have said, that you want to take a brake from this unit for now and you will come back another time.
Bud is awesome on helping others, I don't even understand how he has time for all this.
Only for his commitment, I could not have stopped from a repair. I still have a Pioneer VSX-1122K, that we could not repair it and I'm still thinking about trying again. I don't like to give up, on anything. Right now, I try to repair a Harman Kardon AVR 1700(from two units, I make one).
