Hi all,
I noticed that my (10 years old) POPPULSE T150CE shows a great attenuation on the left channel .
The channel is still present, but with a very little volume
Swapping input source/speaker wiring, shows that the problem is in the output of the amplifier.
I opened it and didn’t find burned components.
Just some oxidation/leakage under the Tripath 2022 pins (but there are no caps near there... where could it come from... ).
No caps seems exploded, as well as the two big ones show a bit "domed"
I add some photos link to show the state of the PCB
I kindly ASK for HELP :

I kindly ASK for HELP :
- Which kind of MEASURE with a digital multi-meter could I do, to narrow the faulty stage ?
- From the pictures below, do you notice some strange/SUSPECT components ?
- Is there a way to REGULATE the balance/gain of the attenuated channel , to raise to the same level of the right channel ?
