Let's start here: A little while back I purchased a Ti Elite 12D from someone I had trusted -- so I didn't test the lights on it. Anyhow, it appears someone had hooked the lights up as a voice coil at some point -- the entire board with the exception of maybe a few resistors was destroyed. So, I had...

Okay, I am still looking at it when I have time. I have inspected a few different components, and am trying to take a bit of a scientific approach to it. Initial testing: **All 4 rail fuses removed from here on out, unless noted** -Both sets of LED's are on. -Both Clip lights are solid on -Green LED...

I appreciate the advice, but I am reallly trying to avoid outsourcing this -- not only because I am a cheap-ass (which I will openly admit to), but also because I would like to take this opportunity to learn, and have something I have repaired on my own (albeit pretty unsuccessful to this date =/). ...

So, I've repaired this MPS-2500 more times than I'd even like to admit (that would be, 3 to date, you guys have helped me all along the way and I appreciate it greatly!). The situation is, it WAS working just fine. The 4 FET's near the 2 diodes (in the power supply section) burned up on the right ch...

-I did use the old sil-pads, but upon removal I was sure not to damage any. It is not easy ( this is maybe the 5th one of these I've taken apart, but mainly for recapping ), but doable. I'm replacing them this time for peace of mind, and to not tempt fate. After I replaced the transistors (when they...

Okay, so I looked into it a bit further. After stressing my brain over why I could have signs of life (voltages present in various places), but no actual life, I realized one point of failure I hadn't checked... The remote wire. It seems when I had moved the terminals to gain deeper access, I had br...

I have (had, in a way, now) a Phoenix Gold MPS-2500. It is a beautiful amp, and I ****** it up. Now I want to cheat death for this poor little guy. Here's the story. I bought this maybe 6 months back on eBay. It came in pretty goofy condition -- someone had clearly already done something to it (I wi...
