C84 died after 5 years

Postby mltamisin » Tue Apr 23, 2013 5:57 pm

One of my C84's just bit the dust. Weird because it worked for years. Any ideas? I'm not getting any sound unless I slam it and its noisy and barely audible. Switch go bad? I reflowed the solder on the switches just in case..... swapped slots if it were a bad power ribbon cable but all is fine there. I've sent my entire build to Tim 4 years ago for a PSU update and it came back in tip top shape and he checked the build so I know the build was done correctly. It's never been moved. I know it's only been about 4 months since I've used it to mic some toms.

What version is it?

What are the voltages at pins 1, 4, 7, and 8 of each op-amp?

How do you check voltage on the legs of the opamps?

Put the negative lead of your meter at ground and the positive lead at the pin of the op amp. The DC reading is your voltage at that pin.

Okay. Board is Revision 1.9.1. Finally got around to testing the opamps:
U1:
1=32mV
4=-18V
7=36.5mV
8=18V
U2:
1=389mV
4=-18V
7=.41V
8=18V
U3:
1=11.62V
4=-18V
7=15.3mV
8=18V
