Hi all, I wonder if you can maybe help calm me down here - I'm a bit worried about my amp.
My 3yr old AVR100 has in the past few days developed an intermittent problem where I get no sound from the rear left channel.
I opened it up, the inside was spotless. There's nothing rattling about or seeming to be loose, no burning smell, nothing obviously wrong to my eyes. So I gave it a quick skoosh of compressed air for good measure, then completely reconnected all the speakers but the problem was still there.
I then (apologies to John Dawson in advance) did what any daft PC engineer would do, lifted it slightly and let it drop, which seemed to solve the problem..... until today, same thing again.
So I performed another slight bump/drop on it which sorted it again.
It reeks to me of something not being seated correctly but I don;t want to go pushing boards around especially ones with capacitors like coke cans.
Can anyone - from Arcam or otherwise - give me any pointers to sort it permanently?
I couldn't bear to have to send it away for repair.
Yours in desperation!
Dave
