Replacing the Amplifier Board
If you need to replace the amplifier board, you must detach the rear- and front-
panel assemblies of the amplifier from the chassis.
1. Wear an antistatic wriststrap when handling the circuit assemblies.
2. Remove the 2 Phillips screws that attach the AC power connector to the rear
panel.
3. Gently pull back the rear panel enough to allow clearance for the amplifier
board.
4. Disconnect the DC power supply connector from J3 on the amplifier board.
5. Disconnect the fan connector from J2 on the amplifier board.
6. Using pliers, remove the three heat sink clips from U9, Q18, and Q21. See
Figure 7--5.
