plate amp troubleshooting
Posted: Sat Aug 28, 2021 8:14 am
I have a little JBL SUB145 powered subwoofer that recently just stopped working. Looking for some help in troubleshooting the problem, if possible.
Pulled the driver first and tested it - it's fine.
Pulled out the plate amp, hoping it might just be the fuse. Nope, mains fuse is fine.
Nothing looks obviously burned or bloated.
There is a sticker on the transformer (TRANSTEC TT0869906580-E) that says it has a built-it thermal fuse. Thought that might be it, but then checked the outputs (two red wires, one black) and found 24V on both red wires.
There is a power indicator LED downstream on the board that has the inputs that is lighting up. It lights up red only. It should turn green when running, via a signal when in Auto On mode. That's not happening.
Audio electronics are definitely not my forte. Any thoughts on where to look next?
thanks!
