Smoking Beomaster 5 - possible capacitor

8 replies

hi guys , I’m hoping someone can help with an issue I just experienced with my Beomaster 5. I hadn’t used it for a while and plugged it in. After about 30 seconds it started making a terrible noise and I quickly turned it off at the power point. It started smoking and smelling really bad . I opened it up and found something on the mother board had failed . I think it may have been a fuse but not sure. I’m not really sure watt to do but thought someone might be able to help me. 

Do you have a photo of the failed component?

Also, do you know how to solder replacement components if we can determine the correct replacement part?

Yes I do have a photo and I think I could solder if we found the failed component. 

Hi Laseralex 

thank you for your reply. Did you see the photo I posted of the item that exploded?
