Spectra With No Sound

deznetwork · Post by **deznetwork** » Wed Feb 08, 2006 12:18 pm

I have a spectra I received with no sound output.

It looks like that is the only problem it has as I have been using it as my TrunkTracker receiver and it works fine.

Im sure its just the Audio chip, does anyone have one?
Or a part number...

Thanks,
Dylan

Could be the amplifier, or capacitors leaking. Check out this thread for more details (including PA part number):

I just found the chip on the command board.
Yep the caps did leak...

Thanks for the link

Get those leaky caps off the boards, and both of them cleaned up ASAP! The capacitor goo is corrosive, and will eat the boards for breakfast if left in place.

Both the caps and the audio PA chip should be replaced. If you lack the tools, skill, or workspace, give me a PM and we'll talk.

Happy tweaking.
