Like a real fool I unplugged my new umbilical cord I just got from wywires because I was hearing static (I thought it was the new cord) and then plugged it back in with the power supply still on! a few seconds later a loud pop and what looked like a flash, the Oppo still played so I thought I was safe but NO! now I am getting the same pop as the music plays what did I do?
That is what I am doing, I did drop new tubes in just in case so far I played two tracks,it's playing but I am still worried plus I am using the original umbilical cord
I must admit I was getting a volume drop at times of the loud pop, I praying I didn't fry something, the thing is I know better than to do stupid stuff like this
Ok thanks, so it's the PS 9.0 not the oppo? I did take the top off the 9.0 nothing that is visible, that I can see, what's strange is I played four tracks before I heard the pop again, boy what dumb ass I am
Dan told me not to have the either unit powered up while the umbilicle is not connected. I thought mine was connected but it wasn’t securely connected.
You will likely have to send both the power supply and the Oppo back to Dan. When you unplug the
umbilical
and then re-plug. When the metal contacts make a connection when you plug it in, it will create a spark/short. That spark/inrush can damage something in the Oppo tube circuit as well. So, yeah, never a good idea to disconnect/connect live DC power cords on electronic equipment.
