Snip - no pix, good audio CTC203 type.

Thanks in advance, Brad



Remove L14401, clean up the hot glue on the legs of the coil and the
circuit board. Reinstall the coil. This should fix your problem.

Good Luck, CW


Yes this is right, I did post this several times before.

More specific: Remove L14401 coil, remove all glue including clearing
glue melted into that hole that L14401 lead goes through. Then "wipe"
the leads with fresh molten solder.

In futu If HOT is blown in any of CTC203 chassis, it is the L14401
bad connection caused by glue was the killer. If SMPS is blown easy
to do: Q14101, 02 and 03. R14107, maybe a fuse.

To give you how common this L14401 is, I did two yesterday, one of two
was a bouncer, (not done by me, somebody did this shortcut soldering.)
L14401 reworked before without this glue removal steps.

I lost count of CTC203 L14401 jobs. Over 20 1 year & 10 months.
First couple or three came back again then I learned that has to
remove glue completely is vital.
