Members troyri Posted September 11, 2008 Members Share Posted September 11, 2008 First off, I know this probably isn't that great of an amp but. I am getting no input signal, anyone have any ideas what might be causing this? I don't really have the money for a new one so if there might be something I can do I would like to. I replaced all fuses but I don't know where to go from there. It does power up, I don't know if it has any output anymore because I can't get any input signal.

Members moody Posted September 11, 2008 Members Share Posted September 11, 2008 What do you use it for, what tests have you done? Have you tested the same signal chain to another amp? Have you tested the speakers that it is connected to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soul-x Posted September 11, 2008 Members Share Posted September 11, 2008 Are the "protect" indicator lights remaining lit? So I suspect you are suggesting you cannot get the "Signal" indicator lights to blink on either channel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members troyri Posted September 12, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 12, 2008 Yes, sorry to be so vague. The signal lights do not stay on, but they do not blink when I put a signal to the amp. I have not run any test on the amp except for the fuses. I replaced the amp with another exact setup and everything works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the old Audio Centron version of that amp and it was a tank. I pushed it night after night for about 7-8 years and it never even hiccupped. Hopefully, it is something minor and you can have it going again. Don't feel the least bit sheepish for using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted September 12, 2008 Members Share Posted September 12, 2008 Generally, the signal present indicators are fed from the output of the amp. This isn't always the case but is often so. Without test equipment and knowledge/experience working on linear electronics, all you are likely to do is further damage the amp or hurt yourself. Time to find a technician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members troyri Posted September 12, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 12, 2008 Thats all I needed to hear Agedhorse, thanks for the comments all. One last question, is the amp worth taking to a tech? I can get a good used amp for around $300 (RMX). I am just guessing this one will cost me a minimum of 150 - 200 to fix with parts and labor.
