Hi All,
I know, I know... Not another lonely wanderer harping on about the dreaded Onkyo TX-SR606 HDMI issue. However this has a little bit of a twist.
I did the usual rounds on YouTube looking at the known issues with the HDMI board issues and how the biggest, bestest way to fix this is to replace the main 100uF 4V capacitors. So I ordered a bunch of capacitors and I busted out my trusty soldering iron and I got to work doing my best to not make a hash of it.
Everything seems to have been soldered successfully, no loose connections, correct polarity (black side to the squared end of the board diagram etc.
Then I plug it all back in, hopeful and expecting things to work hunky dory. But to no avail! It seems that things still aren't working and I'm not a little bit lost on what to do/where to go with this.
One thing I did notice though... When I plug a HDMI cable into one of the ports and select that channel, it does actually acknowledge that an HDMI is connected as you can see from the display:
May there be something else I will have/may have missed in attempting to fix this?
For full disclosure, I did buy this second hand from someone who has NEVER used the HDMI ports.
Here are some photos of the capacitors I replaced:
