Hey all,
So a while ago I had an issue with an f3 amp, which turned out to be a dodgy q5 in the right channel. I now have a dead left channel.
There is no current draw when I attach it to a bench, and I get the following readings on q5 :
46v on the drain
45.4v on the gate and source (ish)
Q3 gives me :
45.4v on the source
<1v on the other pins
The fact that it's not drawing current has me stumped.

Should the pots start at the halfway point?
Have no idea. I do remember it being a bit tricky, but I don't remember much more than that.
