One thing I could add to what is shown here - I recommend to try using a solder sucker when reworking some suspect solder joints. I had a case once where a Yamaha portable multi-track casette deck had a power issue and it turned out the pads of several traces that were supposed to be running to the power transformer had broken off from their traces but were still soldered to the pins. You could not see the separation lines under the solder and flux. Once the solder was sucked away from each pin, the breaks from pad to trace were obvious using an eye loupe. Each pin had to be bridged or jumped over to make a solid connection to its associated trace on the board. Simple reflowing did not work in this case, because the pads that had detached from the board created little islands and were just enough removed from each trace to not allow solder to flow over onto the traces, due to the green solder mask.

Nice job as always. On this one though I'd suggest the first step should have been to pull the pre-out/main-in jumpers and substitute a patch cable, with the L/R channels crossed. That would immediately cut the problem in half. (Right channel cutting out now? Problem is on the preamp side. Left channel still cutting out? It's on the power amp side.) On the other hand it's good that you reworked connections on both sides, and found the too-long pins, and if staying on one side of the unit would have made me miss those, then that's a point against me. :-) Thanks for all the vids.

Yeah the overhead view is great, there was a nice flash at 4:08! So happens I have been listening to you on a NAD 2400 monitor amp that a friend found on the street and gave to me. The 2400 does have a protection circuit... and that was the problem! Had a bad capacitor and by co-incidence the output transistor bias was also off by enough to trigger the protection circuit. I only fixed it thanks to a post on a forum about amplifiers, saying to check the bias and replace that capacitor, wish I could remember where that was.
They are excellent sounding and very powerful components with +6db of headroom extension. The problem was the low-quality parts NAD used to keep the costs down.

Huh, those cracked solder joints are difficult to find. Good job as always! :)
@GGigabiteM7 жыл бұрын
Most of the time bad solder joints are pretty obvious with close inspection. You can see when they separate from the board (ie. if the pad breaks off), or there'll be a ring around the component lead in the solder where the solder has fractured. If you do board level repair long enough, you can spot what's wrong with just a passing glance at the board. A telltale sign of bad solder joints on this receiver is the large brown areas on the PCB, which indicates the board has gotten very hot. Overheating the PCB can cause solder joints to fail from mechanical stress and from burning off the flux left in the solder, making it brittle and prone to cracking. I would have gone the extra mile on this receiver and figure out why those areas of the PCB are overheating. It could have been bad design from the factory, but it could also be failing components causing other parts of the board to run out of spec and get really hot.

I tell you that's a real issue components that generate a lot of heat just as one writer said ... those heating and cooling cycles are murder on solder joints ... not to mention how stressful to the component(s) themselves ... the designers don't really care about keeping power components cool that makes it a throw out for those that don't know how to repair something as simple as a failed solder connection(s) sad really LOL ... I remember the really old stuff had huge heat sinks to remove such heat ... the later stuff NOPE the designers hoped either 1) the user would bring it in for repairs or 2) toss it and buy a new one ... now to the writer that wrote about solder flux .... solder flux is ONLY NEEDED during the actual soldering after that it SHOULD be cleaned away completely ... it is conductive ... and as time passes it becomes even more conductive ... I recently worked on a neighbors reciever (the protection circuit kept kicking in) as it turns out the original solder resin had become so conductive it was tricking the protection circuit in to thinking there was an issue ... very simple solution ... isopropyl alcohol does a wonderful job of breaking down that old resin so it can be flushed away ... it's been weeks now and last time I asked him about his reciever it was functioning just as it should ... I sprayed it let it sit a minute or so and scrubbed it good with a toothbrush spraying more isopropyl alcohol as needed ... turned the circuit board so it could drain off ... and did a final flush spray off ... you wouldn't believe how brown the towel was from the old resin was they used during the manufacturing process (that's another sign if the board your working with had a tan look to it) you can bet that it's old resin and as mentioned earlier it becomes more conductive with age and in sensitive circuits that can become a serious problem causing a major circuit malfunction or random circuit issues such as the protection circuit kicking in ... you get the idea LOL low output from say a pre-amp circuit and so on hope this helps someone who is having trouble figuring out that mysterious electronic issue(s)

Works like a charm.

NAD Nasty Ass Distortion! The PE (Power Envelope) are better, as they have more dynamic power for music peaks due to the dual voltage design (Class H) but the lower power units like I have are real speaker killers. I killed a really nice pair of speakers in about 2 minutes and I wasn't cranking it clipping, or at least it didn't sound that way but it did cook the voice coils quickly on what was a really nice pair of wharfedale speakers.

What is NAD? Spray it with DOxit too. I had an NAD long ago, it was decent little amp. I once had an SAE integrated amp with the same problem as this one here. The repair shop wanted over 100$ to fix it, so I dumped it. Don

NAD was a british company, but they got cheap and moved their manufacturing to Tiawan and the quality took a big dump. They are well designed but the build quality is not was it used to be,

12voltvids They always manufactured in Taiwan/later China though right? They were set up by a group of importers after all and used their contacts over there to keep costs down.
@12voltvids7 жыл бұрын
I believe that is correct. They designed in UK, and initially manufactures in Tiawan, and then in China, as the last one I worked on said maid in China on it.

Correct Lenbrook group. Same people responsible for PSB speakers, which is what I have in the shop. They are designed in Canada now. I am not sure where the manufacturing is done as I haven't seen any of the new gear, but it is very highly rated. Lenbrook manufactures their PSB speakers in Canada, so possibly they are building their electronics here.

Wow the difference in build quality between the Japanese 7155 and Taiwanese/Singapore 7240pe is readily apparent. This is why I'm such a fan of those 1984-1987 pre-power envelope era Japanese units.

@pliedtka4 жыл бұрын
Maybe you fried the amp's power transistors. All AVRs suffer from it when people think it can do 5 or 7 the rated power, say 7ch, 7x110w. Sorry most of them can not, so people please don't crank the volume to loud to prevent clipping. The other problem is the amount heat dissipated by the electronics inside - the little heatsinks just aren't big enough. And finally don't expect them to drive loudspeakers rated below 6-8ohms in multichannel mode, the output transistors and power supply are way too small for that.

12voltvids it's good to meet a fellow Canuck. I have a Dbx 10/20 that needs servicing and there are no one qualified folks to do the work here. Is this a piece you may be interested in looking at? I noticed that the area around the 4 fuses is darkened but I know that might just be the start. Let me know if this would be a good fit for you. Take care. Rob.
