BL8000 Problam - Green, amp click, but no sound.

9 replies

Just purchased a pair of BL8000

Both arrived dead, turn on no sound. 

opened both up clean everything out and repaired trace. 1 Speaker fixed, other turns on green light hear amp click but still no sound.

Any idea what else I should look for.

thank you for the help in advance.

No one has any ideas ? 

Did you buy BL8000 as working condition ?

 

Old (rotten) foam can damage more than only the visible damage on traces.

So, start measuring. Does the (red) standby led work?

Bought second, they didn’t now anything about them. accept that they powered on.

Just checked, stand by red light does not come on. 

DinoD,

I have same problem - one of two BL8000 that haven't been used for about 3 years gives no sound. I get red light on power on, goes green on signal input and back to red when signal input turned off but no sound.

You mention repairing trace fixed one of yours - what is this? Is it something anyone could do or is it a job for professionals?

Many thanks.

Check power on standby transformer. Both on primary and secundairy. Standby transformers can get defective.

Dumb question, where are they located on the board and how to check them and what to look for?
