Martin Logan Odyssey power supply board testing

I have Odysseys that I bought in 2005. About 10 years ago I replaced the power supply in one of them and am now faced with the same problem in the other. I'm trying to avoid buying a new one again especially because I don't know for sure if the problem is, indeed, this circuit board (the new one now is about $400). I'm looking for advice on troubleshooting with issues like, what HT voltage is proper and where is it measured. Also, because I'd like to fix this as a DIY project, are there specific components on the board that are the usual culprits. Any help would be appreciated. |
Even though this doesn't appear to be a popular thread, I have more info that may be helpful to the apparently few that may be dealing with this situation. I removed the board and attempted to find the culprit component(s) to the extent, at least, that this was possible with them still in the circuit. Checking the transformer was straightforward at least and it was found to be good. 3 of the 5 or 6 stepping diodes appeared to have been overheated but sort of checked good, at least in terms of polarity. Because these diodes were the only potentially apparent problem I decided to at least give a shot at replacing them before shelling out money for a new board. It worked and the total cost at radio shack was $3.00 |
