Hi There,
I am in the process of repairing the amplifier which appears to be an RCF manufacture but rebranded to different names. The output mosfets on the positive rail had shorted. I have replaced them but when testing with the bulb tester, the bulb lights indicating a problem remains. I have checked the SAP's and they don't appear to be shorted either. Diodes seem to be testing fine in circuit as are the other transistors. The only thing that is showing any concern is R37 on the +HV Ref is measuring around 10k. It measures 1m outside of the circuit. R7 on the other hand does measure correctly. Essentially my guess is there is still a short somewhere however when going over the resistors nothing stands to be shorted or way out of range. Does anyone have an idea of an area I should potentially look at to focus on. The resistors in circuit around the mosfets are measuring as per the schematic. I don't think it would be but is it possible the bias is out enough to cause an issue with the new mosfets? I haven't reset it as of yet as the bulb lit.
Thank you for your help in advance.
