I just killed my amp - please help me!

[schnitti]

Hi everyone,

I was just making an attempt to measure the bias of my amp , and by accident short-circuited the right-channel
output with VCC+ ( 32,6V).
Now, you might think it's his own fault or what an amateur, but maybe you could have a look at the atteched schematic and give me some advice which parts probably are broken (I have marked the point in the schematic).

I would be very glad if someone could help me!

Hmmm... what schematic?

New attempt

Are you sure it is not just the fuse???
It's difficult to se details on your posted schematics....

 

[schnitti]

Hi ACD,

yes, the fuse blew too, but I think that's not the only part which has to be replaced. I guess that the output transistors are broken too (2SB1383 / 2SD2083). I attached a bigger detail of the schematic (only left channel), maybe you could have a look.

Thanks,
schnitti

Have you actually replaced the fuse or meassured (comparing one channel to the other) that more has been damaged?

 

[schnitti]

First after having short-circuited the amp, it was in a "safe mode". I turned it of (main switch), waited a few minutes and then turned it on again. In the same moment the main fuse blew. So I'm a little bit helpness at the moment. By the way it's a small integrated amp from Denon (PMA-201SA).

My guess is it is unlikely to be in the gain stage. You probably blew either one of the driver, output or both. Since it is a small integrated amp, the drivers and outputs can be easily replaced. It is also a good idea to change the associated emitter resistors as well.

I blew up the pic in corel draw and I would replace the associated resistors and output transistor but before you do that make sure the zener is regulating the base it could be bad
