Hi Folks
I am looking for help to trouble shoot my Boston Acoustics Soundware X subwoofer power PCB. The Circuit diagram is attached. I have checked the voltage across C3 (there is no capacitor as this is 240V board). The voltage i get is about 318V so i am assuming that the circuit behind that is working properly. But now I am not sure how to proceed. The circuit on the Left-hand side of the circuit is on a separate PCB that's soldered onto the board using the connector CN4 shown in the circuit diagram. So its difficult to trouble shoot components on that.
There are severe burn marks around the zener ZD3. The voltage across the ZD3 is 0.364V, also the capacitor on the mounted PCB looks blown but not sure if its blown or just the glue that changed color. What i am not sure is how to test the circuit post C3 point. There are so many grounds and I cant figure out how the circuit works. Also i cant figure out which ground to use for measuring. It does not look like all the grounds are the same (GND-P, PGND, SGND). Is my assumption correct that the PGND and GND-P is power Ground, where as SGND would be signal ground ?
Any help in troubleshooting the same would help. My concern is that is the zener and capacitor blown because of some other fault in the circuit or am i looking in the wrong place.
Thanks
