Hello, (Excuse my english because I'm fench)
I'm an happy possessor of an excellent cambridge audio A3i since 1999. I repair it sometimes and would share my experience (to Alex and all). April 2001 : - temperature drift problems -> change green leds and Q8/Q10 and R16/R18 with 3,3k 1/2 W (done by my dealer in France Patrick Chochoy from Michael Creek) and bias 18 mV between Emiters of Q13/Q14 (recommandations) - Error manipulation -> Short Circuit --> change 4A Fuse and Q11, Q12, Q9 May 2005 : - Fuses 4A broken --> change fuses and bias July 2005 : - No sound on left channel -> clean contact relay and repair board circuit February 2006 : - after a while LED 1 extinguished and Q13 heats and fuse 4A brokes --> LED 1 HS -> change the four leds (identicals : VF = 2,10V @ 12,5mA) October 2006 : - LED1 weak -> Q10 HS ( Beta = 40) -> change Q101 (Beta = 126) December 2006 : - Q8 HS --> change (BC640) - little dissipator on Q8/Q10 to prevent overheating problems Today (July 2009) : I think had a little fan in the amp Questions : how really adjust the bias (amp open ? amp closed ? how many time,...) ? may i have the schematic ? Thank's |
