Checks \ Steps To Do After Recapping ?

[/B]


Is there only 1 fuse in the SA 8500 ii ?
I checked in mine , fuse 1.6A between pin 36 - 37 - is NOT blown.
Voltage : 0.0
Amperage : 0.0
Continuity - exists.

I see 2 (3A) fuses in the schematic, 1 between pins 36~37 and 1 between Pins 38~39, side by side. Also, they should be checked out of circuit.
 
Checked again , nothing . There is an empty slot between 38-39
My amp is HG version (220/240V) maybe they differ ..
?

Mine is supposed to be HG (220-240V) , according to the schematic , there
should be 2 Fuses . FU1 + FU2 . Both AEK-405.
Next reply I will post a photo of my amplifier , Very Strange

The fuses section
Very strange thing
Looks like it never been there , solder looks authentic!
Here is the time when I need help!

The HG has a different SM Section than what I have, sorry. I would wait for Mark The Fixer to get back to you on what to check.
 
Looks like a lot of cold solder joints, could just be shadows.

I think it's shadows , most of them weren't touched

Not caused by you. Through the years of play, joints get weak from the heating and cooling of the component. Eventually separating from the joint. This is why a reflow of joints is a good idea. On transistors, diodes you want to use a heat sink clipped onto the leads before you solder to prevent them from excessive heat.

Got to admit , when I soldered most of the diodes and transistors , didn't use a heat sink. Soldering took 3 seconds maximum . The time it took desoldering the old components , was more...

So, did you change out transistors and diodes? If you did, you might want to post substitutions that you used along with board, original transistor and position, Q1, Q2 etc.
 
I am sure about the capacitors , but not so sure about the 3 legged diodes :(

:yikes:

3 legged diodes?

HOW did you decide where to put each of the 3 transistor leads in which of the three holes?

They are transistors. There are 6 ways to install them, and 5 of the 6 ways are wrong. AND the replacements are NOT ALWAYS the same lead layout as the original, installing transistors wrong ways in can/WILL destroy transistors.

You are supposed to ask questions about EVERYTHING you do not understand, the thing that gathers disrespect here is plunging blindly on ahead. Answering questions is far easier than repairing damage.

I will ADD to this post (i have to find it) before Monday dawn MY TIME, a link to instructions I posted on recognizing the transistor symbol, the lead orientation of the transistor you want to use, and how to get the two of them together correctly. UNTIL each and every transistor is TESTED or REPLACED correctly, power WILL NOT BE APPLIED. PERIOD.

The ALL CAPS is for emphasis, NOT anger. :D understand? it is important.

I completely understand , and will be waiting for instructions.
I installed them in such way that the emitter is in the hole where this symbol is

Assuming ecb on the transistors on the picture, they look good :D

I am relieved...

we'll go over them all, BUT almost ALL of my Fairchild recommendations with the TO-92 cases and the TO-126 cases are ECB, leads pointing down, lettering facing you, going left to right.

The to-220 's are bce (opposite)

reserved space for another link.

Q2 & Q4 Look to be installed wrong. Looks like you have the emitter on the base.

Foil Side Images are the bottom of the board so things are reversed



Edit** It apears that they all have the emitter on the base on this board

Added Foil Side Image*
