Problem with Classic 8.0b

Ree · 5th August 2008, 03:56 AM

Hi all,

My Classic 8.0b won't start. It's never done this before, but the red LED on the front never goes green, and it doesn't actually "start" - it just keeps the red light on and does nothing. The passive cooling is divided in two, and only the right side gets warm after a while..
The manual is in chinese, and I'm not really familiar with power amp shematics..

Do any of you guys have any idea of what the problem could be, or where I should start troubleshooting?

Cheers

Here's another clue: When I tried switching on the "turn-on" relay manually I got 65 volts

on the left channel's speaker terminal (blowing one of my cheap test-speakers (phew))..
What could cause this?
