All You Need To Know Regarding Amplifier Repair

By Lisa Williamson


In a situation where the amplification mechanism is faulty, then your sound system is likely to give a poor output. The work of an amp is to raise the level of an electrical signal to a level that can be fed to the targeted output device which can be a speaker or a headset. This means if the speaker is producing a weak sound, the problem can be traced back to the amp and correction made. Amplifier repair may be required also if the output is distorted or it is not clear.

Since amplification systems are constructed in a relatively simple manner, it is possible to identify the problem leading to the failure. A technician will follow certain steps at the time of executing the repair. The process begins with unplugging the faulty system and placing it on a suitable table.

A screwdriver is applied in loosening the side and top covers of the appliance. Once all components are visible, technicians normally look if there are components which are burned before they embark on sophisticated troubleshooting procedures. If the system had just failed, an odor will suggest that there is a burned component like a resistor or a transistor.

Use the service manual provided by the manufacturer to identify the power transistors. While the power is on, a multimeter is used to check whether there is voltage in the pins of the transistors composing the device. The same should be done for all power ICs identified. The repairer will look for the fuse and test it for continuity.

Troubleshooting can proceed to other parts of the device if its power supply is fixed. A freezer will be used to look for presence of faulty components in the system. What happens is that all components are given a short burst and then the power put on. The last element to clear moisture is the one which is damaged.

The solder holding a damaged component is melted by use of heat generated by the bit of a soldering gun. Once the solder is in liquid form, a nose pliers is applied in pulling off the pins of the component. This supposed to be accomplished within a very short period of time as solder solidifies quickly once the heat source is withdrawn. The PCB is detached and the holes where the element was attached cleaned using a solder wick.

The component removed is identified and replaced with the appropriate one as stated in the service manual. Then new element is supposed to be soldered in the same orientation and position as the earlier one. The repairer should be keen that he does not apply too much solder such that the pins short.

Once replacing a spoiled component is finished, the board is fastened back to its position. The device is then plugged in and the power turned on. If the system is confirmed to be working as required, the power is put off and the covers replaced.
