All I want for Christmas.. Is a service manual. Or the golden tip of course, that might even be better.
The situation is as follows. I got this C-6 on the table, with a mobile phone as sound source and a headphone plugged in. It plays fine for a few minutes. Then suddenly two 2watt resistors and attached transistors get crazy hot! To the point where smoke starts coming off, weldings melt and even the PCB gets damaged. Then I have to turn it off.
Measuring resistances (powered down), I can not find any difference between the left en right channel. I assumed one of the melted weldings was bad before, causing the heat that later damaged the rest of it. So I replaced the resistors and re welded the transistors. But it just starts smoking again after a while. Transistors measure the same with diode tester as the good ones on the other channel. Voltages on both sides of the resistors (powered up) is also the same on both channels: about 43-42 and 41-40. All I found for a service manual is the pdf below. The resistors and transistors in case are marked in the "detail" picture. It is the bottom right of the schematic (pdf file in neaxt post).
Does anyone either have a proper service manual of the Yamaha C-6, or an idea what might cause this problem? I'd be very greatfull!
