enjoyed reading your impressions OP
Well, I was enjoying my O2, I gave it to a friend, but he said he couldn't get it to work.
Cue frustration.
On further review one of the 9V batteries looks somewhat deformed. Not sure if it was an internal battery issue or an amp-charging issue.
The amp lights up when plugged in, but no sound whatsoever. I thought it must be the MOSFET's. Replaced those, no dice. Only reading 12V between the battery terminals with an 18V AC supply line.
Replaced U5, U6, and all the op-amps on the board. No dice, powers on but no sound what-so-ever.
Reworked every solder circuit on the board. No dice.
Frustrated. I've never had an amp give me so much headache, and I've built numerous, much more complicated ones!
Anyone with a similar situation/Advice? I'm getting close to just throwing this away. No problem for months and months, and then it dies.
Yea who knows, fed up and scrapping it on the sale forums for parts.
What about sending it to NWAVGUY? From reading his blog on the O2 and all of his claims, seems like he might be able to fix it. At the very least, one would think he would respond to some pics and a question for help.
