RB-1080 - Help - Now I really have a dead Ch

[dinnu]

Earlier I thought I had a dead ch but it turned out to be an IC. But now I really have a dead ch. I bought it used a few days ago, after the initial scare with the dead IC, I was able to connect it fine and it was working great for almost two days. This morning I noticed that there was no sound coming out of my right speaker. I thought it was another dead IC, but after switching connections and all the diagnostics, I realized that the right channel is not producing any sound.

So, what are my options now? How much would it cost for me to get it fixed at the Rotel dealer? Is there anything I can try at home to fix it? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Since this problem is well known, Rotel may surprise you and fix it for free if you ask nicely. You would be responsible for shipping each way however.

Jerry,

Are you suggesting that I should call Rotel directly? If so, do you have a contact no. or email?

I called my local authorized dealer and they said their service dept is closed today.

Thanks

Update

I have posted this in my other thread too.

I replaced all the fuses with new ones from Radioshack. The amp is working fine now. But I am still wondering why it blew in the first place. I don't use the 12V trigger and I did not biwire my speakers. And my speakers are very easy to drive too... my old RB980 had no issues driving them... The only common thing between others who had the same problem seem to be the interconnects. I use MIT AVt2 ICs.

Thanks

Leave the power on the 1080, see if that helps.

Best regards,
