Tha board is out of the chasis and the fets are removed, when i powered it up the protection light comes on because
water came inside the amplifier the water was spilled a year ago.

Re: My new amp repair project Harman Kardon CA5250

If one of the power supply fets failed...replace them all as well as their gate resistors and predrivers. It's also not a bad idea to replace the PWM IC while your at it. Thanks for your help, i have measured the gate resistors and they are all have the right value but im ordering different kits wi...

Re: post a pic of your latest purchase

A/D/S/ has always been a bit ahead of time with the engineering of their amplifiers. They did have a plug and play x-over system on the early series, also included jumpers to be selected on their pcb's for configuration of different system designs. The later series such as the PH did evolve to have ...

Re: My new amp repair project Harman Kardon CA5250

Were any of the power supply fets bad? You probably removed them without needing to. There was four bad power supply fets but i was not sure if i had to remove them to check them since they are connected to each other, i removed them all after i marked where they where mounted. The ones with colour...

Re: TBA1 questions

I would also keep investigating this before you throw a new alternator at it, but a couple things to consider. Assuming you read 14.3 with the car idling and little to no load on the charging system, its still possible the alternator, or part of it, is faulty. Since you're chasing a noise issue, yo...

Re: TBA1 questions

Alternator change is the last option it charges 14,35volt so its should be good, im thinking of making new ground spot in the trunk i was thinking of welding a bolt in the floor right where the amplifiers go that way they will be short and i can get a good clean ground.

Re: TBA1 questions

not sure if its your deck or not but there was a fairly long run of pioneer decks that if you played them using the rca's and then disconnected and shorted out the center pin of the rca you would blow a pico fuse, even with the deck off. After that your deck will have more noise. you can test too s...
