Yamaha RX-V650 receiver won't power on.

I have a Yamaha RX-V650 receiver that has developed a fault.

If you switch it to standby for any length of time, ie overnight, it won't then power back on again.
I have discovered that if you pull the mains plug out of the socket and then plug it back in again, something clicks within the amp, and you can then power it on.

This has been going on for about a week, but the other night it seemed to be worse. It took several goes of unplugging, replugging before it came on.
Once on it works perfectly well.

From my brief description could anyone hazard a guess as to what's going on?

I have searched the web in vain for a service manual hoping that might give me a clue. If it's something like a failing component then I'm sure i would be capable of replacing it.

Any pointers greatly appreciated.

In my case ButtFuzz was right... except that there was no visible faults at all....

I've fixed my RX-V650 with these symptoms by replacing the capacitor namned C405 close to the transformer with a new polypropylene capacitor of 0,022µF 630V...

Might be worth a try before tossing it out... :)

You've probably already tried this, but...

Disconnect power from the mains, remove lid.

Reseat all the low-power connectors in the unit.

Check the thermister on/near the main transformer.

Check capacitors on or near power supply for obvious anomalies (fattness, leaking, smoked, etc.)

Replace lid and, plug back in, do a rain dance and hope.

Yamaha rx-v650 wont come out of standby, fuses ok switchmode ok no display at all fault pointing towards microprocessor problem.

There is a common psu problem occurring on a few Yamaha models from ~4 yrs ago. Any Yamaha dealer should know what it needs. probably the mod component in the stby supply.

Doubt it would be a micro fault.

The unit does not work

check the standby power supply first and then the main power supply.also check the output transistors and fuses your problem is in one of those points, normally the standby transformer goes bad, it is the small one right next to the big one.
good luck

Yamaha RX-V995 receiver turns on & then powers off 2 seconds late

I suggest you run self diag.  press [FM/AM] key + [Input mode] key and press the [power/standby] switch.

ps prt = power supply problem
dc prt = shorted output or leakly cap in channel
tmp prt means to hot on heatsink

you'll likely have to measure the resistances of the output FETs to find a short,

How do I turn On/Off my RX 596 reciever with my Yamaha remote ?

Press the Standby/On button on the remote or on the receiver (right below the Yamaha logo) to stop the audio output and display. The RX-596 goes into a low power standby mode when not in use; this allows it to respond to the remote when you press the buttons. If you want the receiver's power use to go to zero, you need to unplug it from the outlet. (You could also use a switched surge protector and push the switch to off.)

See page 9 (page 11 in the PDF) in the manual for the details on the On/Standby switch. The manual is available here: http://ec1.images-amazon.com/media/i3d/01/A/man-migrate/MANUAL000057561.pdf . The page is also available here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/197512/Yamaha-Rx-596.html?page=11#manual .

I hope this helps.
