    I realize that folks were just joking (unless it was their computer that the Bestec blew up!). But how often do we seize the opportunity to find creative solutions to an otherwise nasty situation?

    Cheap Chinese made power supplies are not going away any time soon. I just wanted to open up the idea of having a contest to see how many different "practical" solutions we could come up with.

        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...

        Aiwa GX-770 Amplifier Protection Circuit
        by waspie
        I am by no means an expert on this type of troubleshooting but I can follow direction real well.

        I'm no stranger to using a meter and soldering iron so I'm looking for some help in fixing an old amplifier/system I got. This is part of a system "V-1200" by Aiwa where there are several components. My first problem seems to be the amplifier.

        It seems to be in protection. When first turned on I hear the inital relay coming on but never the second relay which is connected to the protection IC. I don't see any obvious bad components on the board. If I ground the...

        [Marantz SR5012] Center channel keeps going into ASO/Overcurrent protection.
        by acedogblast
        First off I would like to thank this community as it has provided me with great information that has helped me greatly on my repair for this Marantz SR5012 AV receiver. I am creating this new thread as the other 2 that I have created here has had their original question/problem solved and I plan that this is the final thread on my repair. Please note that this is my first time repairing audio amplifiers so I may not be aware of common issues and things to know.

        Lets start at what I have done so far. Random speaker popping on all channels is fixed by replacing the 2 large filter...

        Testing ATX PSUs under load - Does loading the ATX 24 pin also load EPS & PCIE?
        by AJ847.63e
        Hi Folks,

        Just wanted to clear up a misunderstanding of mine (or what I expect is one). Isn't the 12V rail from the 24 pin, EPS and PCIE separated? IE if I put a power resistor on the ATX 12V pin that is not going to load, thus tell me if the EPS or PCIE rails are fine?

        I was recently watching ArIs from Hardware Busters video on how to properly test ATX PSUs without using 5 figure Croma substations.

        The PCB adapter he used breaks out the 12, 5 and 3.3V pins from the 24 pin and gives you banana plugs to connect to. That is a bit useless is it not? Aren't...
