Subject: [yamahacs80] MY PSU question

From: Fernando Zarone <fernandozarone@...>
Date: 2011-03-03

Explain the problem:

After a long trip with a horrible jet lag I decided to replace the el. capacitors in the last boards. Big mistake. I did not noticed that in the OE2 (chorus etc) a droplet of soldering material had made a short-circuit between two terminals of IC9, pins 5 and 6. At least I guess that was the reason why, later, the machine didn't work anymore but its power light!

The PSU doesn't give any of the + - 15 and 10,5 voltages, while both the accessory ones (8,5 -6,5) are present.
After bridging the voltages as suggested in the manual p.59 and by some of you, friends, I replaced the 4558s and tested the transistors on the Board. In particular, I found the following transistors, some had been replaced (but the machine used to work great):
R703 = 2SA424
TR704 = CBC639
TR705 = 2SD234
TR706 = 2SA561
All of them are OK with the EBC test (DVM)

At the P1 and P2 terminals, + - 28 are present (think it's ok)

I did not check the four large metallic transistors, connected to the heat sinkers, , in that I would not desolder the robust cables. Is it worth measuring tensions on their pin? How much would they be?

Any clue ? Your suggestions are highly appreciated. BTW, no puff, bang, burning plastic smell, burned fuses...
Fernando

In the service manual (p. 59 if I don't get wrong) it is alerted not to detach the connectors from the PSU, for the risk of damaging the whole.
