Soundstream Reference 500sx amp - broken capacitor within - fixable? (pics within)
2 Attachment(s)
I recently received a Soundstream Reference 500sx, and noticed when I purchased it that there was a bit of a loose noise coming from inside. I popped open the cover today and noticed that a capacitor is actually broken off (see pics). The broken off capacitor also seemed discolored/dirty compared to the rest.
Is it possible that an amp can blow a cap right off the board? Is it safe to run it without this cap? Can I easily just soldier this existing cap back onto the board? Or am I screwed and the amp is now junk? Here is a pic of where the cap broke off from (circled in red): Attachment 19775 Here is a pic of the actual broken off cap (notice how it has a blackish/dirty ring around it): Attachment 19776 Here us a pic of the broken cap placed on the board, away from the rest of caps: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y24...brokencap3.jpg |
Get the amp fixed, do not try and use the old cap. FInd a new cap of the same value and get it resoldered.
