Examining an Amplifone PCB....
« on: August 04, 2010, 04:33:24 PM »



.....mmmm, I think Q2 might be bad......  ;D ;D ;D


(For those not experienced with electronics, it should look like Q3.... the top is completely blown off )

Still, all the smoke damage is not from the transistor but from the resistor under it. Incidentally this is the second time I've seen this on a deflection PCB. First I got fixed easily by replacing all the small parts "in the area"...... :)

Thought it was just funny how sometimes parts damage :D

Was just looking at the board again and actually the smoke came from R7 (which is covered by the cap on the picture). It's completely broken in the center :)

Burn baby burn.

Bit strange that this is now the 2nd time to see the same thing. It's even stranger because this is the Y section (and this less loaded than the X section.....

O well.....let's just order parts and fix it :)

By the way, I have now 2 spare deflection PCB's I reckon that one is enough. So, I'm planning on fully re-working/building both spares and sell one. Any interest ? It will be 100% bullet-proof.
