i have an amp called a viper that im having trouble with, if i replace the card with 1 from a working amp, the amp works fine but if i fit this driver in it goes straight into protect. checked all components and they all check fine
I'm assuming that you've confirmed that the TL072 in the driver board has supply voltage on it's two power supply pins and that the driver board is back in the circuit.
If you drive a strong signal into the amp, what do you see on pin 1 and 7 of the TL072 on the driver board?
