Quote from: mandu on October 14, 2023, 10:53:46 PMThe picture you posted shows common cathode (connected to the -ve).
The other two are for red or green (or yellow if you power both) goes to the +ve
The limiting resistor may be 1 if wired on the cathode or 2 nos. if wired from anodes.
regards.

Thanks for your help.

I just found these schematics online; perhaps they tell what the LEDs are.

Yes, there is a fuse. A t3.15al250v on the circuit board. And, in other news...

Hi. The amp is a three year old Peavey Vypyr. The amp started smoking and the breaker in the power strip it was plugged into tripped shutting everything down. I've determined that there is a short inside the 3Amp IEC EMI filter. You cannot view this attachment.I've found a replacement online that I can order that has the exact same specs. I also found 1A, 6A and 10A rated filters with almost the same specs. The one spec that is different is the inductor spec. My questions are: Is the inductor used in that device what determines the device's AMP rating? And, would there be an advantage with using a replacement EMI filter with a higher (or lower?) AMP rating for this application?  Thanks.You cannot view this attachment.You cannot view this attachment.You cannot view this attachment.You cannot view this attachment.You cannot view this attachment.

I found it here.

You have a good board?  Stick your ohm meter probes on the good one and see what it measures.

I was trying to avoid having to disassemble it again. But I did. That resistor measured 182K. Replaced the resistor and the cap and now the board functions. Thanks.

Although I have an identical working board I'm going to try to repair this burned circuit board. This resistor (R55) is small and my eyes are getting old. I see brown, grey, yellow, gold 180K 5%, or maybe red, grey, yellow, gold 280K 5%. And, does this cap look suspicious? The cap on the good board looks much "cleaner".

Heres the noise which comes in as I increase the volume.  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KL_uZ8kQ9_aCp2k0lP7rCePaSFM_Zxf0/view?usp=drivesdk

Hi. The forum has helped me in the past with amps but now I have a problem with a car radio and maybe someone can help me. This inexpensive car radio has had a capacitor burn up. It looks like it took out the 1000uf behind it too. I have plenty of 1000uf caps in my stash but I don't know the value of the burned cap. However, the cap around the other side of the 1000uf is a 104 (.01uf). Is it likely that the burned cap is also a 104? In my stash I found three different types of 104 caps. Which type would you suggest that I use as a replacement? Thanks.

I have tried three times to upload a pic. Not sure what to do now.

Here's an update. I ran across an HK195 repair video on YouTube where a fellow had a problem similar to mine. He found that the 3300uf 25v cap was leaking and replacing it solved the problem. My 3300uf 25v cap showed no signs of bulging or leaking, so I unsoldered and removed it for inspection. It looked like there was a small amount of residue on one of the legs right where it exits the base. I didn't have a 3300uf 25v in my parts stash so I replaced it with a 2200uf 35v. That solved the problem but I'm wondering if using that wrong spec cap can do any damage before the 3300uf cap I ordered is delivered and installed? Thoughts?

Unless those speakers hold some sentimental value it's hardly worth the effort

But, I know for a fact that every time I save some money and fix it myself an Angel gets it's wings.

Measure DC volts at all 9 pins and post your results...

I also measured the ACv in case they mean anything. The converter output (AC to AC) measures 17.2 VAC

PIN     1      2       3       4       5       6      7       8       9
           
DCv    1     0.7    8.2     0.7     1       0     6.7   14.5   6.7   

ACv   1.6    1      17.2   0.9    1.4      0     14     31    14.1
