i see a missing fet and a fet that was broken that is just soldered back together next to where the missing one should be.

 

[XxedgarxX 10+ year member]

should i take out my solder iron and heat it and see if your right ???

i send it in to check for someone to do a better job than i would do, knowing what they were doing since i have never messed with amps before

i fix 2 way radios and i sent it in just cause i couldnt find any prints of the board

i say everyone should take a video of your amp before sending it in so you can see a before and after

pd had some missing screws too

I dont know I am not an amp repair guy but it definitely doesnt look like it was done right.

yeah i know i mean he said he did repairs for 10 years or so. but now im kinda worry i missing fet should i even put it on power ?

because what was wrong with it it would go into protect mode pop then switch normal then pop protect mode every second

personally I wouldnt. but if you want you can and see what happens it may work just not put out full power.

If you are not happy with the repair Then send it back to me and i promise you ill fix it within a day and pay return shipping to you. And wont charge you for the repair. I dont know how that got over looked (missing output) but im truely sorry for that. And the transistor on the driverboard is a sub transistor Since the orginal one is not avaible at this time. If you want ill fixx it for free and cover shipping back let me know If anyone else besides me touches the amp internally then the warranty is VOID!!!!! ALSO i used the same screws that were in the amp when u sent it to me .

 

[XxedgarxX 10+ year member]

yeah your right and that ***** that means i have to replace all of them just cause of that one

i have heard that you dont just replace one but all of them idk why but i might have too.

 

[XxedgarxX 10+ year member]

one big question is it just put in that transistor in ? if so do you have any of the same package i mean i can put it in there. i dont want to spend 45 bucks more for just shipping or do you have to do any other repairs

 

[mike49504 10+ year member]

They were all replaced Ill replace all of them again and show you a pic of the amp apart and a pic of all the new outputs showing the date codes match on them. Like i said if you rip the amp apart then Warranty is VOID!!! Im trying to make it right with you and you have to atleast give me a chance to make it right with you before i refund any money .

Im getting caught up this weekend on the amps here. If you want ill send you the 45.00 to ship it back to me Let me know

 

[XxedgarxX 10+ year member]

what about that sub transistor is it going to stay like that ? or your going to replace it too?

i mean i never low ball you saying to cut some price down or anything you put in the price and i payed right away no holds or nothing

Any updates on my Zapco's Mike?

 

[mike49504 10+ year member]

Im working on thoose right now to be 100% honest with you.

 

[mike49504 10+ year member]

On the Kicker amp I will replace the Transistor Also Once agaib truely sorry for that i wouldnt accept that repair either Dont know how it left my shop that way . Like i said i have a helper now trying to get caught up on theese amps and from now on i will take pics before and after my work. And i guess i will let my helper go and hire a different one if thats how repairs go out i wont accept that and neither should you. I will replace all parts - Outputs and driver transistor with brand new and take pics of the whole process. Let me know what you would like to do I wanna Make it right with you

 

[XxedgarxX 10+ year member]
