Hi Bigred,
Okay, cool.

It just seemed to be way out of the discussion. I was wondering if you were answering another thread.

Hey nobp, you finally fixed it eh?? hahahaha

Bigred, I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't know you, and I'm every bit as lost as Chris seems to be.

That's very odd! Still, the same area.

A previous tech had to have dropped a tool in there or shorted something! This never happens!

Yes, very odd indeed. I had trouble figuring out what was going on because the amp had failed in a way that just did not make sense.

This amp might have been difficult to fix just because some amateur had already been tinkering with it. It has the telltale signs of amateur repair, including melted insulation on the output wires near the protection circuit, lifted circuit traces, etc.

Hi Solderhead,

That's life sometimes. It's also life as I knew it being the Canadian warranty shop for Carver. You would not believe what we saw come in on a steady basis.
