Power problem: Denon AVP-5000 preamp... Heard of one of these?

the#1 · 27th April 2007, 03:48 AM

This Top-of-the-line Denon audio/video preamp was salvaged from the dump.. It was found upside-down (likely thrown down onto the concrete).
The preamp worked fine when brought home and tested. My theory is that it has a bad solder joint somewhere that caused the original owner to throw it away. When it hit the concrete at the dump, it jarred the joint back together.

Now, after a long car ride, (7hrs) it is not working. It turns on right when you plug it in, then shuts off after about 10 seconds, and is totally unresponsive.

I have it apart, and am going to try to visually scan the boards for bad solder joints.

If anyone knows anything about this preamp and might be able to help, I'd be very gratefull!
