so for a couple weeks it mostly turned on, after a few tries. This week it mostly didn’t. The repair shop I frequented gave me the cold shoulder for no apparent reason, so I finally opened it up. I bet it would be a simple fix but I don’t know what I am looking at. There a button that goes in and it turns on the power, I assume a mechanical step to close a gap? Should I just replace that board?

No.
You don’t say
Really? For no apparent reason? Look, like you’ve been told before, the fault is more likely than not in the protection circuitry. You have two options: - As @patrickalston advised, whenever the thing decides to work, leave it on. 24/7/365. - Find a good tech and don’t antagonize them.

ok here it is: I had him repair 3 things in the last 12 months. We had a text trail of everything. This time when I texted him he responded that he didn’t know me and he is busy with his clients. I called him and told him i had been a client. He told me to contact him in 3 weeks as he was busy. I gave him no reason (i think, i was polite always) but who knows. My previous repair guy was famously a jerk to his clients. I put up with it as he had fixed things. Until he didn’t. He gave back my amp without opening it and charged me the inspection fee. re: leaving it on - i want it repaired and then sell it. I would fully disclose this issue and sell - at a loss. I feel stuck without having a good repair option. @audphile1 they haven’t responded, I will try again. |
