Hi everyone.
I have a little bit of a problem - I have an SX880 that i am fixing up. Got a service manual and as reported earlier it was tripping the protection relay so with the aid of the manual i thought i'd check the DC balance and idle current. They measured way over the 30mV's advised in the service manual so i adjusted the unit to bring them into line and hey presto the tripping stopped.
Very pleased with myself i then went to the fridge and got myself a beer. Returning to the receiver i sat down to listen to some music all was fine - until i stood up to change the album - and in what must be a million to one shot a drop of condensation dripped from my glass and straight into the open receiver ! The result was a loud crack and a puff of blue smoke followed by silence.
The SX880 now appears to be dead. The main AC fuse had blown, also a link on the circuit board had blown so i replaced the link and the fuse. The main AC fuse continues to blow.
Anyone got any ideas ?
Paul.
