I just repaired this amplifier, but I have a doubt ..

All the Fet's of the power supply, were short and also two resistors gate.

Also one phase of the audio output stage, had failed (Q2013, Q2015 and Q2014, Q2011) and a Q2016 driver

All this has been replaced.
The amplifier tested and has a correct operation.

But the waveform on the Q2103 and Q2015 gate pins is the one shown in the photograph, is this normal?

Since you have a battery power (isolated from the mains, no charger plugged in...) scope, place the black probe on the source and the red probe on the gate.

 

[josesony68]

the result is the same, Perry ...

 

[Perry Babin]

Did you check the drive signals without the rectifiers?

 

[josesony68]

No, I did not do that, tomorrow I extract them and check the waveform without them.

 

[Perry Babin]

If you're careful, you may be able to only lift the output terminal to save time.

 

[josesony68]

I am assuming that with rectifiers it refers to the output fets ... ¿?

 

[Perry Babin]

Sorry. It's referring to the rectifiers. The output is the center terminal.

I raised the output pins of the two rectifiers corresponding to Q2013,2015, 2014,2011, but there was no luck, I was looking for waveforms from this state, but something happened ... Q2013 and Q2014 went short.

I replaced the four FETS, soldered the pins of the rectifiers, and the waveform is still the same as before.

I'm going to re-test the amplifier, with audio on the input and a woofer on the output, at 80% of its performance for two hours, to see what happens ...
