Do you know what regulator/ rectifiers are used and their numerical values so i can repair my fried pv 2600 these are the row along heat sink small black ones 2 pin and 3 pin cheers

Hello,

Check the "BRIDGE" switch position, "IN" for "BRIDGE", "OUT" for "STEREO", and clean ALL back switches with a cleaning spray and then run the amp again, also check the two green lights activation at front, if they activate, then amp is certainly working, let me know further.

One channel got fried, let me know a bit more.

Hello,

Clean all back switches first of all, use a cleaning solution spray and give a 3 shot per switch, then push in-n-out several times each one and check amp functionality again.

Here is your service manual:

Scroll down and find link on this page "Get Manual" and click on that. You can only download two manuals a day unless you are registered at the site.

Lots of luck on this one... there are 16 transistors per side that can all fry... Fail to weed out all the failed ones and it immediately blows again. Use a 150 Watt incandescent lamp in the hot side of the power input to act as a current limiting fuse while testing so you don't blow up more parts. When the unit is good to go, the lamp will go out when you power it on after briefly lighting. This is likely an expensive repair.

Mis-handling is the usual cause of this. This can also occur if the clamps don't hold and the transformer slides around. OFTEN you can splice in a short piece of magnet wire to repair these. Splice and insulate well.

One side of the amp has failed and repair is NOT DIY. Take it in for servicing. This amp has many components in the power amp and repair is complicated. A failure can lead to 20 components being damaged. Failure to replace all damaged ones can result in immediate failure destroying the replaced ones.

Either have it fixed or offer it up as broken at auction.

Estimating cost is near impossible, however labor could easily be aver $100.

The fan is controlled by a rather complex circuit depending on thermistor temp sensors. The temp sensors appear to also shutdown the amp.

If the fan comes on instantly, there MAY be a failure in this circuitry which is inexpensive parts...

Each side of the amp has 10 major power transistors and if all were blown it would add significant parts cost to the repair.

Man, that's a tough one. Best answer I can give, it depends. It would take a tech looking at it and making an evaluation. Sometimes it just takes out the front end (preamps), sometimes it's worse.

Each channel is protected separately. I suspect that the outputs are fried on the right side or the output fuse has blown. This should be checked by a service shop.

hi thanks for using fixya!!

On this error, you should check still the built in breaker.
