  • Sony SW-7600 advice on repair

    From M B@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jul 11 21:20:02 2023
    Hi, I mistakenly used a SW-7600GR AC 100v-240v AC to DC adaptor on a SW-7600 that should have been AC 110-240v. My mistake. The adaptor smoked a bit and I turned it off at the wall but the SW-7600 hasn’t been the same since.
    Since then no noise from the speaker but if I try the headphone in the ‘record out’ side port on an FM preset station with the volume turned right up, I can just make out faint reception. But nothing on the other jacks.
    Any thoughts as to the SMD capacitor/s likely to be the culprit/s ?
    Any help, much appreciated.
    Many thanks.

    Hi Mark,
    We suggest you send the radio to our repair shop. After using a wrong
    adaptor, You sound to us like you're just way too God Damn fucking stupid
    to fix something like that your self without breaking something else.

    Good luck, Glad we could help.
