Fixed APEX 1500 with C19
This just fixed my problem as well. Check for those bulging tops.
Todd K. Got this unit with an intermittant problem, sometimes it'd play fine, other times the display was corrupted, sometimes it would wig out for no apparent reason. Opened it up and found C19, a 1000 uF 16v electrolytic capacitor bulging at the top, replaced it and all is well. |

I wasn't so lucky with my APEX. I replaced a buldged C450 on a
AT2708S/CH-10C and the relay still clicks on/off constantly |

As a rule, capacitors do not bulge for no apparent reason. You might find that the feedback, I belief in this case is a faulty opto-coupler. With no feedback at all, it will drive ALL the voltages way up.

A lot of these had caps made with the bad electrolyte which bulge for that reason, fortunatly that stock seems to be used up, I haven't had the problem occur in newer stuff. |
