Hello from Australia!
I'm trying to save an AU-11000, i picked it up knowing it was going in and out of protection but as i couldn't inspect in person i only really saw the extent of the abusive repairs its gotten over it's life once i received it.
(check the photos out).
On the bright side its cosmetically quite good and complete.
Back to the condition and what i can see. Lots of broken traces and repair work, as well as virtually every molex connector has been removed and instead the wires have been soldered to the pins. However it otherwise looks quite original inside with usual Elna caps.
At any rate, i'm hoping to get some guidance in bringing this out of protection and seeing what can be done.
I've powered it up twice since i've had it, once in connected mode - it stayed in protection
Once in separated mode, it came out of protection briefly then jumped in and out until i powered it back down.
I've had a good look through the amp and have familiarised myself with the boards and what looks suspect.
I've repaired things in past through instruction and have a basic understanding at what i'm looking at, can anyone tell me to best place to start and i'll begin to do some measurements with the DMM?
Many thanks for any advice!
