Hello,
I hope this is the right place to post this...I'm looking for repair advice on a Rotel RSP-1066 preamp/processor. It will not 'wake up' out of standby mode after having sat unused in standby for quite a long time.
It woke up the first time I tried it and worked fine. Then the second time I used it, I had to hit the remote control power button a few times for it to wake up, then it worked fine again. The next time I went to use it, it wouldn't wake up at all.
It makes an internal click (relay?) when the remote button is pressed, but won't come on. I am afraid it would cost more to repair at a shop than it's worth, so I'm wondering if this might be something simple and obvious that I could try myself. I have assembled a few DIY audio project kits so can solder, etc., but I'm not an engineer or electronics tech.
Does anyone have an idea of what might be wrong, and if so, is it something worth trying on my own? Or, should I just replace it with something else?
Thanks in advance!

I found several problems like that in some audio equipment, and it was faulty regulators like LM7812 or LM7912 ,so try to measure this voltages and see if they are correct. I found the negative regulators (7912 or 7915) to fail more often. Hope it helps.
