Dacmagic fried HELP PLEASE!

badd99 · 14th March 2011, 11:37 PM

Hey guys, I screwed up and was running my dacmagic from my amps power supply and my amp from the dacmagic power supply. I heard 2 fishing and the poping sounds and thought it was my tube on my amp. Today i go to run it again and change my tube and right after I start to hear a weird noise so I shut everything off to try and fin the source. First I shut the amp...still sound...then the dacmagic...still sound. Thinking it wasn't these items I go to turn the dacmagic back on but it will not power now! I go to the back and smell that stinky electrical smoke and a bit is coming out so I unplug everything and let it sit for a bit. I just opened up the darn thing and Im not sure what to check?

Please help me fix this thing, I can not afford to buy a new one!

Found this residue around these capacitors...seem they exploded or is that glue? How do I know what ones are bad?

The ones that have the crap next to them are

4- 1000uF 50v
1- 470uF 50V
1-220uF 50V
1- 10uF 35V
4- 2200uF 25V
1- 1000uF 25V

Im not really sure TBH. I took it all part and just as I was about to be done for the day, like 2 hours later, I said screw it lets try it again....it worked? Im hoping the issue was it was over heating or something of that nature and it safe guarded it self by not being able to turn on. I just saw smoke and the thing not turning on...that wasn't the best of signs!
