You all are being dicks.
I asked a question and did not give anyone sh*t about anything. You're b*tching for the sake of b*tching. Nonetheless...
Yeah and instead of coming right out and saying it in the first post, or evenin your first reply, you waited till dalton attempted twice before you mention the board, my mistake.
The FIRST POST I MADE had the FIRST QUESTION I POSED. You're just being an asshole.
The second question was my way of reframing the first question because, despite the seemingly straightforward nature of my original post, it was not clear to the only individual in this thread who has responded to my question directly.
Again, I described the problem accurately and asked the appropriate question. And, again, you're just being an asshole.
Yeah, well sorry...there's not too many electrical engineers that frequent the boards who are willing to troubleshoot some kid's Kenwood amp. Doubt any of these company's service departments would be charging outrageous repair prices if it was that easy. If you find someone though, please share with the rest of the community...because if you would have done a search you'd find that similar questions have been asked a million times before.
I did a search. I did not find an answer to my question. Therefore, I asked the question and hoped that someone on the board might recognize the problem and, possibly, the typical cause.
For example, if someone's car is overheating and pushing fluid from the coolant reservoir, my first suggestion would be to check the radiator cap, because a cap that doesn't seal properly will cause that problem.
I assumed this might be a similar situation in a different context. If it's not, then it's not. Awesome.
People charge outrageous repair prices for mechanical repairs, but I find mechanical work generally quite simple. People have specialized skills that they use to posture their services on others without these skills. Price reflects demand.
Further, I'm not sure what your attitude is about. I've not given you one. I only took umbrage with the "
" comment from GradeA_TireFryer, implying that it was obvious that the amplifier is broken and I should have been aware of that before asking the questions I asked.
I agree it is obvious that amplifier is broken, and my posts reflect that. My questions are, essentially, all things considered, what component within might be broken. So, to the comment "
," I reply, "No sh*t!"
Thanks, though, to NoTLaDStyle for at least attempting to help me out.
