Audio Sector DAC - one side stopped working

dicklorent · 25th November 2010, 02:35 PM

Hi,

I have been using Peter's great D/A converter and enjoying it very much.

Suddenly, while I was listening to music, one side started to make a noise (like white noise),
came back to normal sound and then died.
So now only one side is working

.

Please help,
what do you recommend to check or replace?

Thanks,
Lorent

Check the voltages as per attached schematic first.

Everything is fine.. I have found a small piece of metal on one of the ICs.....
Removing it cured the problem...
