Yamaha receiver not turning on

Yamaha HTR-5960 receiver not turning on HTR-5960
Common issue with many Yamaha receivers from the 2000s.
Easy repair.

Thank you for filing these! I've just turned on a donated one and encountered the same issue. I will be giving this a go!

It also worked on my RX-V659 receiver. Thanks!

[@Xancheems]

Did the exact same thing but it keeps turning off, what else could it be? I dont see any sign of burn.

Was really hoping to find same board and piece on my HTR-5920 to fix it, but electronics inside are different. Is not in the side or on bottom.

[@Justfixitmate]

I've never worked no this model - you could check C932 on the main board in this model - follow the power cable - it should be near the mains connector, next to the fuse on the main PCB.

Have you ever worked on the ax 396, has the round capacitor on the power supply board Cheers

[@Cheezwizzz]

Can I ask how you originally discovered this issue, I like repairing electro mechanical tape decks etc but I just don’t have the know how on electrical components

[@AdverTyy]

Hi, i know this is a late reply. The C405 capacitor, the one he replaces in the video, is notorious for going out of spec after a few years. Just google „Yamaha C405” and you will se heaps of blog posts about this particular part. Returning to your question, its all about studying the schematics and doing measurments. When you notice a voltage is off, you look if the voltage being off could make your device behave/not behave as youre experiencing you look for the cause. Its quite a process but youre doing a favor to yourself, and to the planet by repairing old equipment.

[@Cheezwizzz]

@@AdverTyy Thanks for replying, in the 5 months since my original comment I was shown the basics of what you just described! I was told how to use a multimeter other than just checking continuity, lol, I’m learning new stuff all the time and enjoying the challenge more than ever! Thanks again!

[@V_______K]

Help me find the firmware for the EEPROM chip r1ex24128asas0a. I can not enter the engineering menu. Standby voltage is present. yamaha rx a810. I will be very grateful.

👏👏👏👏👏

Can a higher nanoferrid Polycarp be used as well, mate?

[@Justfixitmate]

In my opinion, a like for like replacement is the safest option.

[@TheChrist11]

@@Justfixitmate Thank you. I appreciate your time. I will install the same one. 🙏🤗

[@akasam5278]

i have a question did you get any clicks or anything before you replaced the cap i recently got one of these units from the same era rx n600d to be exact for free and wondering if it has the same fault no power at all so i brought the same cap unfortunately mine has Ethernet and you have to disassemble everything to get to the cap. @@Justfixitmate

[@alexdumitru3900]

What is the part that I gotta replace called?

[@mumbles552]

It's a film capacitor. Not sure of the uF rating but the numbers printed on yours will identify it.

[@laszloTheJr]

@@mumbles552 22nF 400V or 630V

[@9hundred67]

My receiver is turning on and off and on and off and on and off, at random times like some kind of seizure. Do you have any ideas?

[@laszloTheJr]

Hi, Did you solve the issue? Was the PCB in place when it was doing so? I did change the cap and it does the same here as well. Thank you in advance.

[@9hundred67]

@@laszloTheJr I bought another similar Yamaha receiver and used the power board from that to replace the faulty one. It seems to have done the trick. I think that red relay box was the fault. It was clicking on and off randomly.

[@laszloTheJr]

@@9hundred67 thank you for the prompt answer. I got a hint in the meantime that the elco-s are suggested to be changed. I will try it. Let me know if you are interested in my result. I am working on a RX-V459 anyway...

[@9hundred67]

@@laszloTheJr excellent, definitely keen to know your solution also. It was a very frustrating fault.
