NAD C352 Protect mode

There are 4 fuse. Are all working? pin1 &pin 2 are equal and must be near +-50v. 40.5 volt says something wrong in power supply. Also disconnect P101b. If voltages are still different. Work around the psu.
IC401is LM7805 it gives 5.6volts. not 7volts. D401 may be fault. or LM7805.

But, those two fully different and not connected circuits. How can be both have problems?

It's dangerous to play with 100volts. you have to be very carefull. C407&8 stores voltage! Wait for discharge.

(on BR101, there are two ¨ signs and - and + sign. what is the value of voltage between + and -. I remember that it was near 80v, but not sure. I don't want to open c352 now).
 
I'm thinking Q155/Q158 are the ±18 V regulators. They're on the bottom of the power amp schematic. I bet the +12 V "regulator" is the voltage divider formed by R254, R255 and emitter followers Q159, Q160. They're fed from the +18, so once you get the ±18 V rails working, the 12 V will probably spring to life as well.

Check all theses r680r and the opposite 33r resistors I highlighted. In my experience, these 680r go high, usually 1-2k and it causes excessive current on these 33r resistors and triggers protection. You can check them in circuit if you can get to them, you are just trying to verify if they are open or high resistance.
