    Yamaha Amp - strange power issue

    Hi all;

    I found this forum from this thread; https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...&highlight=PRY

    And I have a unique issue that I hope some experts on here might know about - but with similar 'design' to the thread above.

    My Yamaha RX-V861 will not turn on "once it's flat" (I think a cap discharge?). But if I manually power up the relay on the power PCB, the entire amp comes alive and works perfectly. From there, I can turn it off and on again as much as I like, providing I turn it on within about 3-4 seconds of turning it off. Past this time, it's "flat" and I need to manually trigger that relay.

    Research and poking with a multi has found the PRY signal works fine when the amp "isn't flat", but the PDET signal is the one going flat per say. While it's running normally, turning it on/off that signal changes from 0V to 5.1V no issues, but if I leave it "go flat" that PDET signal drops to ~2-3V and fluctuates a lot, and the amp never comes back on.

    Does anyone know where these PDET and PRY signals come from? (the microprocessor or something else). I have the service manual / circuit diagrams, but I can't work out it's design and behavior off paper.

    Lastly the Config menu I can access, change menus and sub menus, but I can't actually select / change anything? I've pushed every button, nothing actually changes.

    I've downloaded the service manual and it mentions nothing about "selecting" a menu item, just initial access and navigation.

    Thanks, hope to hear from anyone what maybe still familiar with these older amps...

    You likely have bad capacitors in the power supply, like C2535 (2.2/50); C2534 (2.2/50) and C2538 (1/50)

      Hi RJ;

      To test them, do I need to remove them from the PCB and use (my mate's) LCR meter?

      Thanks

        I guess you could, I would just replace them.

          Hi all;

          I finally brought some replacement caps, and the first one I targeted was the 22nF/630V greencap on the power supply board.

          Yep, worked first try zero issues. Old dead Cap was measured to be 5nF once I took it out.

          Thanks all for the input. Still got me fd how that cap was messing with the 5V signals to/from that power board to the Video board, but hey, half of me is happy my amp is working (painful few weeks with TV speakers), other half of me was looking forward to a new amp....

            Yamaha EMX 2000 Powered Mixer issue
            by Phlox321
            Hi All

            I have a yamaha emx 2000 powered mixer im trying to repeair.
            the problem is that theres no sound output on the right channel. Left channel works fine.
            Right channel has output when using the phono(headphone output) but not when going through the amplifier
            the left peak meters work but not the right
            the clipping light however does come on when gain is turned up same as left channel
            What i have done so far is make sure that the supply voltages are fine, which they are
            I found several cracked solder joints on the amplifier board which...

            MacBook Air A2337 (820-02016) USB-C Port Issue – Only Works in One Orientation (CC Line Problem?)
            by rounin
            Hi everyone,

            I'm working on a MacBook Air 2020 (A2337, board 820-02016) and running into a strange USB-C issue. I've gone through quite a bit of testing and part replacement, but I'm stuck — hoping someone here can shed some light.

            🛠 Original Issue
            The machine initially wouldn't negotiate 20V over USB-C — stuck at 5V.
            Diagnosis showed PP1V5_UPC0_LDO_CORE shorted to ground.

            I replaced U3100 (UF400) using a donor board (A2179), and the machine powers on fine now.

            ⚠️ New Problem: One USB-C Port Only Works in One Orientation...

            Three 820-01700 32GB Logic Boards Same Issue: Won't Wake From Hibernate
            by ugamazing
            I have three identical-spec 820-01700 boards (2.6/32/512), and ALL THREE boards came to us with the same fault, from different sources: The boards don't wake from hibernation with the keyboard or lid, they ONLY wake when you press the power button. I understand this is a very minor issue, but the boards must be fixed!

            We will of course begin with the obvious (checking lid signals), but I couldn't help but notice these three boards were all 32GB variants. Has anyone noticed an issue relating to these 32GB boards in particular? I of course don't think it's a RAM issue, but it's bizarre...

            Hello guys!
            I have a strange issue with my laptop keyboard and I'm lost trying to detect what's wrong - the KB9028Q-C or the keyboard itself.
            It powers on OK and has no other issues except the following:
            • CAPS LOCK does not work at all
            • Fn button toggles Flight Mode
            • When I press 't' or '5', it produces 't5', and when I press 'y' or '6', it produces 'y6'
            • (with SHIFT pressed: 't%' and 'y^' respectively)
            I initially thought it was a keyboard malfunction (internal short, etc.),
            but when I press and hold...

            Alienware 15 R2 Service Tag: DL7NN32 ISSUE (Battery is not charging)
            by Simone Vergani
            Hello everyone,

            I'm experiencing an issue with my Alienware 15 R2 (Service Tag: DL7NN32). The laptop works perfectly when connected to the AC adapter — it powers on and functions normally. However, the battery does not charge. If I disconnect the DC adapter, the laptop shuts down immediately, as the battery is at 0%. I have replaced the battery with a new compatible one, but the issue persists. I also replaced the AC adapter with a compatible one, but the battery still doesn't charge.

            To assist with troubleshooting, I'm attaching two power circuit schematics:
