Beomaster weird problem

16 replies

Hi, I think what happened was that the C1 - the 330nF/275V cap went up in smoke its not nice to look at :

If I now remember correctly it was bad looking prior the recap but not as bad as this. Is it possible that this cap was the problem from the start...just in the brink of failing? 

Here is the other side of the startup board with burnt out resistor on the left there: 

So Now to order new parts, I think in this thread is the same problem:

Now off to order some parts

That capacitor is a Class X or X2 component. It sits right across mains and must be replaced ONLY with one of a similar type.

The same goes for the resistor that burned. It's a safety component, it MUST be a flameproof type (and you know why now).

The suppression capacitor is not the reason the resistor burned. The reason for that will have to be investigated.

Hi. Thanks for all the advice. I did the right thing and took the Beomaster to the repair man. It is working now.

But there is the fault of left channel 2.9 volume cut out. Beolover addressed this in hes forum but Its not clear for me is the left channel AD7110KN upper or lower chip. I managed to order some of chips online and want to do the swap.

Here it is with picture. I took the picture from Beolover sblog.

Is the left channel volume chip the A or the B?

Thank you for the reply and help. The right channel is chip A and left channel is chip B!
