Jl Audio 300/4 repair

It appears that there are multiple defective LEDs. You should have approximately 2v across each LED.

I'm not sure I understood what you meant about the other 3 boards. Do those 3 channels work perfectly?

Are all 3 LEDs lit on all 3 of those boards?

Did you measure the voltages on the driver boards with the amp powered up?
 
Yeah that there is defective led, I'm still waiting for the new one to come in so I can replace it. Ups delayed the delivery.

The other 3 channel were still working when that channel broke, but I did not test it on the bench to see if it still works, maybe I should.
I was a little confused why I have some defective led on those "working" channel. I have none of those 2 top led working on all 4 drivers board.
When I receive the new led this week I will test if other 3 channel still works, but It was before I opened the amp.

What I was working on is why I have 2 of the A1070 transistors on the "defective" channel become super hot in a second. I found nothing to be shorted or to be defective except for the led right now. I guess I should remove it from the board test it out of the board.

I did measure the voltages with the amp powered up.
In diode test with the multimeter, none of those top LEDs was showing voltage.

Both transistors that came hot in a sec are now cold so I guess something open somewhere.
I mesure weird negative voltage when amp on.

So I understand now why I mesure 56V across the LEDs.
