Phoenix Gold Phorum

I am trying to re-build the power supply for a Sapphire SA1.5X. Would anyone happen to have any PCB pics of the top and bottom?

Thanks to all.

I got one, I'll take a few once i get home later on tonight.

I just can't believe it got that bad....they have fuse resistors to prevent this from happening. Maybe a stand or a few of wire fell inside.

Thanks Ricky! I appreciate your help.

Now i see what may have caused the fire...those rail caps. You be the judge.





Hope these help.

That's what I was thinking Ricky. These pics you supplied are just right. Thanks again!

Hope you get it back functioning. Let me know if you need any further help.

I bought one off of eBay last year in "working " condition. It power up and played on all channels according to the seller. I opened it up before giving her power...... shit! A cap head leaked taking out about 6 resistors. I replaced all the blown resistors and all of the caps. I powered it up but have not listened to it yet. If all is good, it will become my sons for his car when he turns 16 in December this year.

In the case of this amp, the rail caps look to be the same brand and series as the infamous input caps are, so both are a potential failure point.

I replaced just the b+ caps but now I'll definitely will replace the rail caps as well. I did replace both the rail and b+ caps in my 3.0x because the rail caps showed clear signs of leakage.
