  • cambridge audio AZUR 540A in protection mode

    Hello all
    Having a few issues with this one
    It came in in protection mode. 1/2 of the speaker outs were broken
    So i sorted those out. and turned on in protection mode
    I tested the SAP15N- SAP15P. I thought they were faulty. I replaced with SAP16's ( bought from a good supplier ) which is an updated version of the SAP15
    I believe now that the sap15 were ok
    I have read a few bits on line about this problem but nothing that is helpful

    They used that glue on the main board that has gone bad and hard eating into component
    legs. Cleaned that off and only found 1 damaged leg. sorted that

    At switch on i press standby and within 2-3 seconds it shuts off and power supply relay cuts the supply from the power tx
    at switch on i can see about 30v on J12 ( page 26) and 1.5V on J6 page (26)
    of course this lasts for about 3-4 seconds then drains away
    I have tested transistors/diodes/resistors in power amp circuit nothing comes up bad
    38v +/- ok
    15v+/- ok
    5v ok

    Is there anyway to disable the protection so i can get this on ?? so further tests can be made and hopefully work out what is going on
    thanks in advance
