Hi Guys,
I was trying to see what was wrong with one of my lIne-in sockets and had the GF open. One of the output aux-jacks comming from my IPOD came out and touched the back of the large circuit board that resides behind the In\out socket panel. It has knocked out my entire input stage.
Here are the symptoms.
-- No radio, tape or Line-in.
-- VU light comes on but VU meter does not indicate battery power.
-- My volume control is a tiny bit crackly and when I turn it the crackle is still there (so I don't think the amp stage has gone).
-- The tape players function fully but no sound.
I have a feeling that one of the ICs had gone but do you guys have any pointers as to what to check first?
I have dowloaded the service manual (courtesy of Fatdog from another thread) so I'll be studying that.
thanks.
