homiewes Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) A week or two ago my amp started cutting out to the point where it went into protect mode, and made a terrible high pitched screeching noise.. smelt like burning plastic.. Is anyone familiar with what all these resistors going around the amp is for? and maybe why this happened? cleaned up the burnt spot Edited November 6, 2011 by homiewes Quote My youtube channel, please subscribehttp://www.youtube.com/ballinblaza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 MOSFET looks cooked. Quote you can cook bacon shirtless if you're not a pussy...lol not hatin, but am i wrong here it looks as if the amp is not grounded its hooked directly to the battery. it that the way it should be.

homiewes Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 MOSFET looks cooked. The burnt spot is now cleaned up with some rubbing alcohol.. and it looks like it came from the grey long thing..resistor? and as you can see there are little orange things on the right hand side of them.. i think the orange thing was bent over and touching it.. maybe that was the cause?

STEvil Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 the yellow things are tantalum capacitors. Kind of looks to me either the MOSFET, resistor, or capacitor is cooked. Quote MickyMcD - "Capable of making some serious trouser flapping volumes at where's-my-testicles frequencies, the Servo-Drives used to be fairly jaw dropping..." Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.

homiewes Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 the yellow things are tantalum capacitors. Kind of looks to me either the MOSFET, resistor, or capacitor is cooked. so if i replace all 3 of those the amp should work again? and where would i even get ones to match?
