    SONY STR-K840P Protection Mode

    SONY Amplifier displays PROTECTED error.
    While checking noble resistors(5W 2-0.22Ohm) I have found one that shows different voltage value on his middle leg(52 V)-others show 3 V.
    I've checked output transistors. They are OK.
    Even though I've replaced resistor it still shows 52 V and amplifier is still in PROTECT mode.
    Any ideas?

    Check the drivers for the output transistors. If blown, they will end up driving the output transistors improperly and causing the DC voltage offset protection to kick in.

      Those are 2 resistors in one package, if you are still getting 50 volts at the center of the two resistors, and the outputs are not open or shorted, check the base voltages.
      The drive ic's could be bad, also then check the 100 ohm resistors on the output transistor base's,

      I would check the solder connections on ic701, 702 & 501, I have seen them go bad. sometimes the actual ic is bad from having the bad connections over time.

        TEAC AG 980 going protection mode
        by Supradin
        Hi everyone. I'm new on this things, this is my first amplifier after I start offering repair service almost for free, just for learning purpouse

        So I have a amp that is going to protection mode. I saw that if I remove the ribbon cable which sends from main board B+,B- and signal for amplifiers card, is not going to protection mode.

        So, from that ribbon cable y disconnect everything but b+ b-, and amp goes again to protection mode. So my guess was something is wrong in the amp board.

        I disconnect all transistors and amp is ok.
        After, I connect the...

        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...

        Stubborn GIGABYTE B365M AORUS ELITE - main PCIe x16 GPU port working only in x8 width mode
        by DynaxSC
        Hi,

        I have this board, where I have exchanged the LGA1151 socket. During testing I discovered, that the large PCIEX16 slot won't by no force work in x16 mode, but keeps to work in x8 mode only.
        I tested this with GPU-Z, also with Render Test (but tried also Furmark and Heaven Benchmark - no effect).
        Tested on Core i5-9600K as well as on an Pentium G5420 and MSI NVIDIA GTX1070 and 2 other cards, including RTX3060Ti.
        Board architecture definitely allows x16 mode, as all 16 PCIe lanes are present between CPU and main GPU slot (nearest to CPU).

        Technics SA-AX530 in protected mode. Overload message
        by Francesc V.
        I got a request from a friend of mine to have a look to his amplifier. When switching on "OVERLOAD" was displaying, however from time to time, message disappears and protection was removed.
        I took some time in visual inspection (no bold caps, no solder joins, no burnt components neither hot burnt areas). I took some time to measure transistors and diodes. Everything seemed ok.

        I realized that when OVERLOAD was on, pin 13 on IC601 (RSN307M44A-P) measured 5V. From time to time, when Amplifier was not protected pin 13 measured the right -1.5V
        (Pin 13 goes through...
