NAD C326Bee goes into standby although an active signal is present. Any idea?

Hi there,

a couple of months ago, I reported that I could re-animate my NAD C326Bee from turning on and forcing a specific input to be chosen.

Since then, the amp was working perfectly, but then since yesterday, a weird behaviour occurs:
* The amp is working with a valid input signal, and is set up to have the auto standby function in absence of signal. Roughly after 1 hour, it goes into standby (real standby, amber LED. Not protection with red LED). I managed to reproduce it with different inputs.
*When I de-activate the auto standby function, I could not reproduce the problem.

In other words, it seems that the auto standby function is corrupted, and is triggered erratically when it should not.

Dis anyone have already such a issue? And if so, what would be the solution?

Cheers.
 
Simple solution is to Not use the Auto function.

Failing that, do you have a multi-meter, soldering iron, and other such tools to be able to open and work on this machine ?
You will also need to find and supply a schematic for this unit.

If not, then your left with taking it to a repair shop.
