White smoke from bxi1606d

[Xprime4 10+ year member]

So after hours and hours of modifiying my box to be able to close my trunk lid, i was ready to put my 18" Q in the trunk...

I was clearing the floor so i could put the box but then the + and - output from the brutus amp touch the positive of the capacitor //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif .... result: White smoke and an amp that stay in protection....

is it dead? I tried reading the output at the amp terminal and it stays at 0 volt no mathers what //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

**** capacitor, i should have remove it sooner.

What should i do? I'm from canada and shipping isn't really cool .... is it worth it to repair?

anything i could do myself or other test i could try or is it really dead? It's so cold outside i don't want to play around it too much

if yanyone got something for sale cheap that does around 1200-1500 watt @ 1 ohm pm me

givin power to output = what piece to repair?

Is it reading 0 volts at the speaker output or the power supply input? If it's reading 0 volts at the input then hopefully you just popped the on-board fuses (assuming that's what the amp has). Have you checked its fuses?

Did you check the fuse at the front battery? Or any fuse that you may have on the main power lead from the + battery terminal?

ooooh... a learning experience... TAPE OFF EVERYTHING ALWAYSSSS!! never know whats goin to touch what when there are loose wires floatin around

 

[Xprime4 10+ year member]

the fuse are fine... my other amp are starting.. tough i just burn a power acoustic amp cheapo amp running it at 1ohm bridged while it's a 2 channel amp lol... i don't give a **** about this one....

The cover light are on, but the green power light and the protection light aren't powering up. The remove bass knob is stating protection....

I'm pretty sure i fried it... I just had remove the tape to hook it up to the new sub //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Right now i'm murdering the capacitor

true but why were you using one in the first place, circuit city tech talk you into it?

that's why you are ALWAYS supposed to unhook your battery ground(s) when you are connecting/disconnecting power wires.

I usually am more carefull... this time i only had to swap sub, eazy operation //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Can i have something for it? worth repairing?

I'll be takin' it out of the car soon and takin internal pics

 

[Xprime4 10+ year member]

got some internal pics. Doesn't look that bad.

what's burn : r46, r 47, r48

r 32, r33, r34 and d16 and d17

what can i do? is it worth anyting?

 

[Supergumby5000 5,000+ posts]

it only looks like that one FET went, but chances are the whole row is toast too.

Could be a number of problems, but im gonna guess a toasted power supply as well.
