Got this amp in and it does some strange things..
First off the power light will not light up at all in this amp..
When hooked up the amp will have sound for a min then fade away then come back real quietly then go back out and will continue to repaet the cycle..
This is a HIP4080 Based amp..
Someone has switched the outputs in it before The outputs that are in the amp right now are IRFB4710's
Any ideas ??

Amp has no relay..
If i send a signal into the amp and increase the signal the output will fade out even faster..
Heres what i have on the SG3525
Pin 1:0.34
Pin 2:5.15
Pin 3:0.00
Pin 4:0.46
Pin 5:2.02
Pin 6:3.81
Pin 7:1.93
Pin 8:0.38
Pin 9:6.00
Pin 10:1.19
Pin 11:0.00
Pin 12:0.00
Pin 13:13.12
Pin 14:0.00
Pin 15:13.12
Pin 16:5.15
I get hardly any rail voltage
Heres what i get on the 4710's
Leg 1:7.03
Leg2:5.12
Leg 3:2.64

Pin 10 goes to Pin 8 of the Driver IC (AD826AN)
The voltages i have on the driver IC are
Pin 1:0.00
Pin 2:13.11
Pin 3:0.00
Pin 4:0.00
Pin 5:0.00
Pin 6:0.00
Pin 7:0.00
Pin 8:0.00

So what do i need to look at since the voltage on Pin 10 is to high??

Ok found 1 problem the Driver IC is in a socket and as soon as i wiggle the IC around in the socket it gets voltage on PIn 8 and the power light comes on..
Im gonna order a new driver IC and remove the socket since the legs are ready to break on the IC
Amp still does crazy stuff with the output..
Wondering Should i order the IRF3710Z's For this amp and replace the IRFB4710's to see if that cures the output problem since this a HIP4080 based amp..
Pin 10 connects to the collector of a MMBT4401

Do you know if the amp was working properly with the 4710s?
It would be a lot of work to replace them and should be left as a last resort.
You should be able to get the op-amp connected well enough to do further troubleshooting. If so, you'll have to determine if the power supply is being shut down when the audio fades out.

Right now Pin 7 connects to ground
If i reverse the direction of the op-amp pin 3 would be connected to ground
Heres the datasheet i found..
AD826AN pdf, AD826AN description, AD826AN datasheets, AD826AN view ::: ALLDATASHEET :::
So which would be correct Pin 7 connected to the amps ground terminal or Pin 2 connects to amps ground termianl ??

I don't have any information on this amp so I didn't realize it initially but you appear to have an op-amp in place of a driver IC. Pins 11 and 14 will connect to pins 2 and 4 on the 8-pin IC which should probably be a TC4424 or an MIC4424. If that's true, pin 3 would be ground. Pins 5 and 7 would drive the FETs.
