All You Need To Know Concerning Amplifier Repair

By Lisa Williamson


You will not enjoy clear music if the amplification mechanism of your system is faulty as it will give poor output. The purpose of having an amp in a sound system is to raise the level of the signal to a point suitable for the output component which can be a loudspeaker or headset. If you are receiving a weak sound from your speaker, the problem is emanating from the amp and troubleshooting is supposed to be done. Amplifier repair will also be done in a situation where the sound received from the system is distorted or there is none at all.

Most amplification systems are easy to troubleshoot as they are constructed such that it is possible to view all components once the covers are removed. Several steps are followed when undertaking repair for an audio system. The first one normally involves removing the device form its position and placing it on a table.

A screwdriver is applied in loosening the side and top covers of the appliance. Once all components are visible, technicians normally look if there are components which are burned before they embark on sophisticated troubleshooting procedures. If the system had just failed, an odor will suggest that there is a burned component like a resistor or a transistor.

All power transistors in the system can be identified by use of the service manual obtained from the manufacturer. The power button is put on and a multimeter applied in determining if there is voltage on the pins of these transistors. The rest of the power ICs need to be identified and the same test done on them. The fuse will be tested for continuity and if found to be blown, replacement with a suitable one will be done.

The trouble shooting can proceed to the next stage if the power supply is corrected or is found to be in good condition. In this stage, all faulty elements in the rest of the system will be identified. The technician will employ a freezer in spraying the components with cold air. The system is switched on and the component that will go for long time still frozen before the system works is the spoiled one.

A faulty element is removed using heat from a gun to melt the solder holding it in place. A needle nose pliers is the suitable tool to apply in puling the pins out of the board. Remove the screws holding the board in position so that you gain access of all sides. Cleaning of the holes left on the board is done through utilizing a solder wick.

The technician uses the manual to identify the component so that he replaces it with its equivalent. The position as well as orientation of the element should be maintained and the pins should always be straight. A side cutter is supposed to be used in trimming the excess pins once the solder has been applied.

The circuit board can be fixed back to its position once the spoiled component is replaced. The power button of the device is switched on to test the system. After the system is found to be functional, the power is switched off and the casing replaced.
