Marantz PM44SE

sandanuk · 3rd January 2009, 05:25 PM

Hi all,

New here, just found this forum after googling my amp!

Got my PM44SE out of the loft today. Like an idiot I rigged it up and switched it on without considering that it may damp. I thought I heard a thud when I was out of the room.

Tried to play the CD player, all LEDs are on and internal fuse is ok but no sound. It usually clicks about five seconds after switch on which it isn't doing now. There was the smell of burnt dust after I turned it on the first time. It did a similar thing once efore after it had been in storage but I think that was the fuse. The solder side of the centre board looks brown on both edges near the centre. The board is still getting warm. I'm not big on electronics but am a service engineer on catering equipment and do deal with pcbs so am willing to give this a go, could do with some guidance if anyone has schematics or knowledge of this unit.

Thanks in advance.

Just switched it on again. Q759 is getting red hot and has that 'burny' smell.
