Re: Grounding noise from main output when cable-jack is connected

2014-12-26 by Stalin Johansen

Maybe the discoloration seen in the last photo is caused by overheating of the grounding-metal, rather than oxidization? If so, what could be causing this, and what other components should I check to see if have any sort of damage? And how can I fix this, if at all?

I have tried to look at the components on the board where the main output's grounding wire is connected to, but I cannot see anything there that seems out of order.

Everything else on this Polysix seems to be working properly.
