Id be interested in knowing how you single out and test whether it's the amp chip of notHisrudeness said:

Lol.... purely on a gut feeling!(plus Docs thinks the same) I’m probably way off though. Who knows, but there’s no crackling or fizzing or static, just a serene silence!
The front cover comes off with the speakers and cables. I do have another working one here so will swap the fronts over to see what happens over the weekend.

Interesting to see what you find, if you can just swap in a spare then your good to go

Thanks Christine. I was dealing with two boxes over the weekend. I found another nice RX-5250 and that was done first and went pretty well. The Akai was filthy and I figured that after a decent clean in and out that it might coax some sound out of it.
Alas it wasn’t the case so I closed it up as I was done mentally with boxes at that point. I’ll revisit it at another time but for the moment it’s just a nice looking paperweight!
Good luck!.

It sure cleaned up nicely. I love those multi-colored LEDs!
The bubble bath pics are a bit passé now surely?

I would check the PC board for any breaks or bad solder joints. I had the same problem with the Jap version of GF9696. LED VUs work and all, but no sound. I bought it in like new cosmetic condition, very cheap and took the challenge to fix it. It was a bad solder joint. ~Royce

I would love to get ahold of one if those Akai boxes of that layout, they look so cool and so very unusual to me. ðŸ˜
