Good evening,
I have a Orion XTR1400.1D.
It was in use for maybe a year. I bought it new but not in the box or at least told it was new.
The batteries on my truck died and I assume they killed the amp when it was boosted.
I have been reading as much as possible to figure out what to test.
It’s very obvious that the transistors blew up. Smoke/smell/burn marks. I had no output but the amp had the light on but not the protection light. No fuses blew it has 4 30 amp fuses on the amp.
I attempted to replace and they simply blew up again.
I am going to order more but would like to not run in circles replacing random parts. It’s obvious they were defective.
I have another amp that functioned torn apart to replace one of the potentiometers on it and am trying to use it to compare readings.
I think I have a dead short in the amp somewhere as I have continuity between positive and negative terminals and my other test amp is not like this.
None of the capacitors are swollen. I have tried checking the transformer for shorts and can’t seem to find anything wrong.
I have a soldering iron, soldering pump, I just ordered an oscilloscope should be in the next couple days.
I have a multimeter as well.
I’ll post a picture of the blown up internals tomorrow when I get a second.
I would appreciate any help
