powerpod 740 help needed

[ShorBird]

FYI - the kit I got from Phonic did resolve my power-up issue. While the unit is not yet 100%, it's pretty far along the way to recovery. See my other thread for more detailed info.

Hello everyone, I just purchased a powerpod 740 from ebay and it worked for about 10 minutes before it smoked then stopped working. Go figure! It appears to be the DFX board which is at fault. Can anyone forward the service manual for this unit to me?
Maybe someone could tell me where I could find parts?

Is there any way to bypass the DFX board since it is not needed in my case?

Thanks for your help!

Hi italiano!

Which type of 740 is.

Regards zeoN_Rider

 

[Italiano]

Phonic power mixer; model powerpod 740.

Chip exploded on DFX board. Can this board be bypassed?

 

[stoN_Cold]

Hi!

Theoreticly, yes but !

Do you have SM. for this Phonic.

DFX Board bypass on phonic powerpod 740 plus or delux

If this is a mixer with the 2 digit LED display for the effects, and the rotating selector switch with the 'push to lock in' the effect type, then the effects board is a separate unit that attached via a miniature dip connector on it's underside. You can definately run without it by removing the 4 screws that hold it on and gently lifting it off the main mixer board assembly.

You need to ask yourself why the board toasted in the first place before just replacing it, other wise you'll end up with 2 pieces of toast with your breakfast!!

You can order parts from Phonic, and I believe they actually offer a flat rate repair service for the plus and deluxe series of powered mixers (you pay the shipping both ways.)

Contact Casey at (800) 430-7222 or caseypittman@phonic.com for more info.

BTW - the digital effects boards are kind of scarce right now at the repair facility - might take a while to get one

Best of luck.

Hello zeonrider,

Could you please email me the service manual too? My email address is serge@q3k.org.

Some idiot I work with blew our 740 by turning the master output on maximum. Now the only thing heard through the output is static. All four outputs are broken, and nothing appears to have popped/burned/left a visual mark on the amplifier board. The mixer board works perfectly.

I haven't yet had the chance to try to fix the amplifier with a multimeter in hand, so I have no idea what may be wrong.

Thanks in advance,
Serge

 

[stoN_Cold]

Hi SergeB!

I'll send you!!

Regards zeoN_Rider

On the Way.

Once again: I need schematic for Techics SE - A7!!!!!!!!

Thanks!

Hi jense,

I altered your email so the bots don't find you.

Hi Cal Weldon,

thank you. It was my first forum entry. That´s why I´m a little bit naive.

SMPS blown

Hi,

I have a 740 with the SMPS blown - the IGBT's are both dead short.

Can anyone let me have a copy of the schematic before I fry the replacements?

Does anyone know what's in the 'official' repair kit?

Thanks, Graham.
