Hello

I have since a long time a Philips HTS8010S/01 which has been old but was doing the job.

Since a few days, it starts by making a weird "static" nois when switches on for a few seconds to a minute and then works like a charm.
Noise loudly outputs from the 3 channels, even if no signal is sent by the controler.DVD to the subwoofer/amp unit.

I was thinking of a soldering that was starting to be damaged and that was only doing the job after a few seconds of heating, most probbaly on the power board
Removed each of tyhe boards

hello eveyone

Everything seems to work. Just have to clean the volume encoder, but the remote is fully controling it.

Relays are closing (it looks like from a first look into the beast) that there are a lot of them.

When I switch it from standby to live, they react, I can hear a little static noise in the headphone. the same when switchin it off.

Ive seen that a lot of similar devieces from onkyo suffers from...
