HELP! Low voltage reading

[JVC Floyd]

From my experience with car amp a blown ic is usually burnt out and you can tell by looking at it , or better yet smelling it lol.

Bill I have some amp chips in my scrapper vz 2000 e , I'm not sure if they are the same as the USA vz 2000. I haven't removed them yet but if you need them let me know .

Not 100% sure just yet Floyd but I’ll let you know. Thank You

Think I’ve narrowed it down to IC amp chip.

Wow. Who would've thought. Do you think it was just a coincidence that this happened while checking the bulb?

Not sure yet still checking

Doubtful, amps don’t fry unless the outputs are shorted, which can cause damage quickly.

Haven’t had much time but one chip seemed shorted. Hopefully I’ll have more time this weekend.

Finally after a year I figured it out with lots of help from superduper (Norm) and some parts from JVC Floyd. It ended up being a transistor on ps board. Thank you guys!!!

Hi, I have the same problem with a vz-2000. Do you remember the changed transistor?
