[Premium-Rx] WJ8615p

Chas,
 
I have had problems with the caps you describe as well.  And yes, the
board is part of the problem. 
 
I wish that they had used a slightly better batch of caps.

Hello to the group.
 A bit old hat ,But to anyone who is running a wj8615p,I wonder if
you've had problems with the A1A10 79622 Audio video
P.C.board..........This is the 3rd Rx ive had problems with a cluster of
caps (or so i thought) going short circuit.
The true problem is the multi layer board breaking down under c20
(bottom left corner of board) sometimes taking out the inductor, and in
the case of the 1st rx. the P.S.U ! (shorts out the neg15vdc rail).....
schematic 580571 pg FP37 FO18.
Now the big question....are any of these boards available and if so how
much including shipping to the UK. Ive sealed the board with a resin
after cleaning carbon from the damaged area and I am unable to replace
the 100uf cap because of the damage caused. I just hope the board
doesn't break down again.
Hope this information aids someone else.
As a final thought ...... is it me? or as I get older does the saying "A
temperary repair job becomes a permanent repair if there are more than
four fixing screws to the cabinet"! start to ring true.
Thanks for all the interesting topics.......dont let this group/ site
vanish.
Chas G1RSK.
