Re: troubleshooting definitive technology prosub 60

Hey momaka...Sorry I was referring to the pins for that mosfet. 1 is gate, 2 is drain, and 3 is source.



It only appears that Q4 is warm. I will test as I don't have any spares. I tested R12...

Re: troubleshooting definitive technology prosub 60

I tested to voltage at the connections for the mosfets and found the following:

Q1
P1 and P2 = +169V
P2 and P3 = -169V
P1 and P3 = -300mV

Q7
P1 and P2 = +163V
P2 and P3 = -169V

Re: troubleshooting definitive technology prosub 60

Attached is a pic of the board where C1/C2 and C3/C4 are. It looks like you either have C1 and C3 or C2 and C4. Since this is the large case I have C2 and C4.

I am using a 100 watt bulb in the dim...

Re: troubleshooting definitive technology prosub 60

The + and - voltages on the bridge rectifier were off by an order of magnitude and the there was current through the speaker wire.

Re: troubleshooting definitive technology prosub 60

Yes. It’s Q7. Don’t know why I had Q4 in my head. All three pins on Q1 are shorted together. I will check speaker line voltage and the bridge rectifier. But I am going to guess the speaker line...

Re: troubleshooting definitive technology prosub 60

Thanks BadCaps. The new Q1 and Q7 are shorted source to gate. All pins were shorted on the ones I took out. I did replace U3d and more zener diodes are on order. I will check Q3, Q4, and Q5.
