I was making some tests because a ground loop with computer as source.
I was testing different power cables on the Aleph with different multi outlet plug strip, all used and without problems, but with different characteristics. A typical test: power on, 10 seconds of music, power off, change the cable or the outlet, power on...etc. I made it about 5, 6 times. Last time that I powered on I heard a kind of "snap", burn smell for few seconds and the Aleph since that moment is mute. Panic! I watched the fuse on the input, but is good. Please, somebody have suggestions? Thanks in advance rob |

...well, Aleph 5 have 2 separate channels and the common power input. Well being it mute in both channels I think that the problem could be in the power input, I don't think is in the 2 different channels, or at least is more difficult that something burned in both channels.

You have to give us more to work on if you expect a reply. You need to tell us if there were burned components somewhere and where the burning smell came from. Are both channels dead. There is not much we can do with the info you give us.

You have probably toasted your rectifier bridge with repetitive turn on surges, should be an easy fix. Cant help more without more info.

Thanks for your reply. With the friend who assembled it we found the problem: he tell is a diode and capacitors problem.
And thanks to mr Pass who shared with this community the project: a great man and a rare example of gentleman. |
