Onkyo 805 receiver no sound - any clues?

Then it is not worth fixing. Any new receiver will offer the same functionality as the 805 and cost approx $700 and have a new warranty. I still believe in Onkyo products. Good luck.

I just had this happen to my Onkyo 809. The audio just went dead on the receiver. I was told it was the audio processor board, it had to be replaced. I had purchased an extended warranty from Best Buy where I purchased this, so not sure what this would cost to get repaired. I would guess around $200.00. Good luck whatever you decide do.

I went ahead and spent a few bucks to troubleshoot the problem with receiver. Turns out the audio / video board is bad. The repair was north of $300 so I am now going to buy a new AVR.

My current candiate is the Denon AVR-X2000 which I can get for $650 including a headphone bundle. I could probably sell the headphones for about $200. Any other AVR thoughts?

For only $50 more you could get an Onkyo 818 which has the TOTL Audyssey room correction, which has much more resolution and also integrates a subwoofer better than ever. Might be worth a look, people are really impressed with it.

The Denon is also a fine model, just be aware that ANY receiver you get these days will not have the amp section equal to the old 805.

Well not really true. The new Cambridge Audio 751R and NAD T787 both have rock solid powerful amp sections. Though they both come in at close to triple the price of the Onkyo 818. But it is very true that the older Onkyo TX-SR805 was way overbuilt for it's price point and the amp section was crazy powerful.
