Amplifier Repair Question?
« on: 29 Dec 2012, 10:21 pm »
I hope I am in the right section.  Starting just this week, my Niles SI-250 amplifier started emitting a weird problem.  If I let it sit for a while before I power it on, the right channel will not function at all....but if I shut it off and power it on a couple of times it will kick in and play fine until the next time.  I took off the amp cover and I looked at the capacitors first to see if there were any bulged or blown caps and I noticed that a 220uf50v cap that rests on the power supply PCB  is a little bulged in the center.  I come from a computer background and I replace capacitors on a daily basis at work...so with my thinking, will replacing this cap most likely fix the problem?  Thanks!!!
