I've had this system for 20 years with no problems. One day, all audio is missing and it turns out the ps mosfets are blown along with associated components including controller IC. Found a guy on YouTube with similar problem and replaced the parts he mentioned as well as 1 additional mosfet in the feedback circuit. The system worked great for 3 months, now back to original problem with blown mosfets, etc. There are 2 10uF 25V caps on secondary with ESR of 8.6-8.8 ohms, my replacement cap measures 1.2 ohms. Does the ESR on the secondary caps seem high enough to take out the mosfets or should I be looking elsewhere? Remember the repair lasted 3 months, it didn't blow right away.

I would highly recommend that you check all capacitors that are less than 100uf at a minimum or just checking all of them highly recommendLast edited by sam_sam_sam; 03-30-2021, 06:08 PM.9 PC LCD Monitor
