Having open up one of these beasts it's clear to see that the four transistors in the output are cooking the pcb. There is considerable disclouration of the pcb track [tranies using these to sink heat away from themselves]. If this is left unchecked it may cause failure of the unit.
I would use a heatsink like rs part 507-4753 . I've bought this up as a "heads up" for anyone who has this unit, and therfore should check it out. I have search but found nothing ! |
