I've picked up the wharfdale PM700 PA again in hopes of making it stable. Sometimes it will turn on and just play fine other times you have to pop the on/off switch several times to get it running.
Monitoring the -+ 63 v rails and the 15v rails when it doesn't come on they produce on a few volts. The largest caps have been replaced. The little fan always comes on. I have this power supply schematic that utilizes the same smps controller chip and a lot of it looks very similiar to what I have.
From what little my brain has gathered SMPS supplies need a kick start to get them oscillating to produce the voltage kinda of like a startrun capacitor on a AC motor. But not sure where I should be checking.
Any helps would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
