Onkyo TX-SR705 HDMI failure can it be fixed?

[@vincentwilliams4732]

Very nice to see a HDMI repair without a really expensive microscope lovely repair videos

[@12voltvids]

I only have a cheap one but it gets the job done.

[@MichaelRofe]

Hi Dave, Just a quick note to say that I appreciate your videos! I am guessing many more of us out here do! Yet are too busy to actually thank you! So, Thank You Sir! Enjoy your fixed Onkyo! Stay safe! I am picking up an Onkyo here in Japan at a Thrift store around the corner from my house for 30 USD it’s the DSP chip issue amp I am guessing from watching your previous video. Worth a shot at that price. Wish me luck!

[@pafoofnic]

Excellent, solder bridged and instantly unabridged before power up. Didn't let the smoke out of any of the sealed parts. Thanks for another great repair video.

[@zx8401ztv]

Well done, i was really chuffed that the microscope helped you :-D it's not an easy job with good eyesight but you struggle a lot with yours. My close up vision got a bit blurred from 50 onwards, and it makes soldering a pain.

[@12voltvids]

My eyesight is actually very good. I don't wear glasses normally. I only put these old reading glasses on for very close up work such as putting connectors on fiber optics and fine soldering. I don't need them for computer, phone screen reading, or news paper. Only when i am in real close less than a foot. These one on my bench are actually an old pair my wife tossed as she needed prescription bifocals.

[@Synthematix]

My close up sight was terrible, but when i lost weight it was perfect

[@12voltvids]

@@Synthematix My distant site was terrible and a laser beam fixed that 10 years ago. Now my vision is perfect. I don't wear glasses or contact for anything. I don't need glasses to repair stuff and actually only put them on for the real close up stuff of very small parts.

[@Synthematix]

@@12voltvids As time goes on electronics are gonna get smaller and smaller ffs, i work on N gauge trains, the solder pads are 1/2 a mm in places, had to make my own soldering iron tip thats 0.5mm

[@grawey77]

I have the next model up the 805 which is an under rated power house. Onkyo realized this and the next model year, the 806, they reduced the amplifier power. Purchased new in 2007 and have always ran it outside a cabinet. It works perfectly though the remotes volume up button is now worn out. I have cheap computer fans across the heat sink and one over the dsp board.

[@pliedtka]

The thicker and stiffer mega$$$ dollars cable surely help in breaking more HDMI connectors. After a while will see the increase in definition just like in this Onkyo unit. I just love the SMDs and solder cracks. At the same time I would change the main capacitors for power amp section to keep the voltage from sagging while in multichannel mode and driving loads below 6ohms - their size doesn't look very inspiring maybe 8200uF, 10 000uF at most.

[@gokerbg]

05:05 "I hate this type of connectors, really i do" ...... +1 :)))

[@sivajisivaram2013]

My question not abt this video, I bought a cheap esr meter & when i just googled esr values of capacitors varies in some chart. How can i able to know which is correct. Does the esr value varies with meter.

[@zs1dfr]

Well done! The microscope makes one look so ham-fisted, but actually, you did very well. I wish my hands were this steady 🙂

[@Ted_E_Bear]

Great information !

[@GeorgeGeorge-xj2bc]

Three options are available,resolder pins with a tiny solder iron and flux if the pins are accessible,or use hot air station with flux to reflow the pins by melting the same solderings or remove the entire socket and solder all the pins of the socket using flux to remove bridges between pins and to the same for the pcb traces,clean the through holes and then reflow the socket back to its location and finally solder the attaching pins to the holes.The soldering flux and its quality is the most important in these repairings.After a lot smart phones/tablet usb charging port replacements reworking to hdmi ports is quite familiar but is still difficult due to the more pins.

[@clivewright7778]

Hey . Whats the model# of the microscope u re using ?

[@michaelturner4457]

So it's only solder holding the HDMI connector to the board, and not screws, etc?

[@12voltvids]

Yup. That's why they break. That's why Monster Cable is bad.

[@-Dash-]

I have been looking at those Andonstar digital microscopes and trying to chose between the AD206 and AD208... Is yours one of those? As far as I can tell the AD206 comes with a remote control and can zoom in, the AD208 is a bigger screen but does not have a remote so I am not sure if it can zoom in like the AD206. Anyone know?

[@ExtremeBogom]

Going by one of his other videos, I think Dave has the AD407.

[@Lane42]

Seeing all those replaced capacitors brought back bad memories. I used to have a TX-SR606 that had chronic capacitor issues with the HDMI board. I trashed the thing after the third round of failure of the same caps. Swore off Onkyo after that. I hope your model doesn't have the same problem.

Happy happy, now I can watch my cable TV, dvd recorder, laser disk svhs and beta decks all switched through the repaired amp and fed into my media room. Surround working and the the sub that hasn't been online for a few years. Spent the night watching old laserdisks. Working great. (And no, i didn't shoot any video of the swap out. There is no room in the equipment closet. I put a cd in the laserdisk and played it. When I went to eject the disk stuck to the clamp and dropped inside. White knuckel time I had to open the laser disk in the rack without bumping the tray or i would have had a broken disk. Guess the laserdisk is laserdisk only. Not trying a cd on there again. Future service I think to inspect the clamp and see why cd sticks to the top side.

side commenting on old video. in Finland we never had mask mandate during covid, in fact it was illegal for store keepers to require you to wear a mask. there wasn't much other restrictions either

[@12voltvids]

Illegal for a private business to enforce their policy? Here there are still many stores that have a sign on the door that masks are required to enter. Private business can make their own rules as to who can shop there. The parts stores j deal with have just gone down to mask recommend and the staff still wear them.

@@usernameg5 private business can make policy. Just like you have the right to ask everyone that enters your home to remove their shoes or don't come in. A business that requires patrons to mask up can refuse. The business owner and employees have rights too. People that don't agree can go shop somewhere else. Also not talking corporate rights. Small business is a private business and these owners are citizens too. Mandates have been over here for well over a year and yet there are still private business that requires masks. People still go in and harass them but guess who gets arrested and hauled off to jail.

I asked him to put in a mask and i got "the speech" so I told the customer that I could not enter if anyone wasn't masked and then i left. They had to reschedule a week later. No internet no tv for a week. Sucked to be them. All because of 1 worker.

[@gartmorn]

An easy fix and another appliance saved! We have the same problem here with the pandemic. My wife caught covid along with five others all because one person refused to wear a mask and came in to the school staff room and said she wasn't feeling great! Next day five others including my wife tested positive! Luckily none of them got it too bad! Teachers are really at risk yet they keep the schools open. Blended learning with reduced class sizes would help but the politicians in their wisdom don't think it's necessary! Masks and distancing are a no brainer!

[@12voltvids]

I get asshole movers and trades at job sites i am working at. I refuse to work if any worker or customer is not masked. I even offer them one but if they refuse i cancel the order and the customer has to rebook the order and wait again. Company policy. My safety is more important than the job.

Big fine now for breaking the rules now. 230.00 fine for not wearing mask in public, and a snitch line set up to report the ignorant jerks. Can only take off in restraunt when seated at table eating.

You don't understand how they work. They don't really protect the wearer. They protect others if the wearer is sick and doesn't know it and they cough or sneeze. Then whatever they cough on can be contaminated and uoh pick it up. I wasn't the only one that walked out. I have a friend that caught covid on April 2021.
