Got a HRDX in for repair. Complaint was (making noise,no reverb and channel-switching issues)....imagine that!? Powered it up and sure enough lots of hiss and crackling noise.
After inspecting, I noticed some charred pins on the V2 socket. It had taken a lot of heat and pins 5,6,7&8 were scorched and loose to the board. The traces on 6,7& 8 were burnt. I took the socket out and cleaned up the area. I have re-mounted the socket and ran jumper wire from 6,7 & 8 to the correct harness attachment pins. I checked continuity to all the connections.
After rewiring , I powered up and saw a whiff of smoke in that area after flipping the standby on. I quickly turned off and double checked the wiring work and the resistors R19,20,21,22,25 that are associated with pins 6,7 & 8. Those res. checked good. I replaced R20 & 22 and C9 for assurance.
After powering up again, I have no smoke, but V2 is not warming up. The heaters are all measuring 3.5AC.
Voltage reading on V2 socket are 1(425vdc) 2(-.026) 3(-.031) 6(427vdc) 7(.09) 8(-.026)
Pin 7 seems odd as it has been variable from .555 to .09vdc
V1 and V3 have similar readings with 425VDC on pins 1&6
Any help, advice, direction would be appreciated....THX in advance!
