Before you do anything else, get the fan working. You know it's broken, and
a basic rule of repair is to fix the stuff known to be broken before you
start tackling the more subtle things. If it cures the protection problem,
well and good. If not, that's when you start looking for the tougher stuff.

Peace,

He doesn't necessarily know that the fan is broken. He, and you, are
assuming that the fan runs all the time. If you know these amps, you will
know that it does not run all the time. The system control decides when to
run the fan, based on heatsink temperature AND drive conditions.

As I said in my earlier post, if anyone bothers to read it, the amplifier
has got to virtually be on fire before the system control determines that it
needs cooling, and this is the ( well known ) cause of the bad joints on the
output ICs, which his amplifier is almost certainly suffering from.

Doesn't make it easy for fully sighted people to follow a conversation
either ...
And then there is the issue of replying to a post without quoting anything
of what you are replying to, making responses have little or no context or
meaning,
And then there is the crosspostin got multiple newsgroups....

DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE, BECAUSE NO ONE BOTHERS TO FOLLOW THE BLOODY
THREADS ANYWAY. I'VE LOST COUNT OF THE NUMBER OF TIMES THAT I'VE SAID
SOMETHING, AND THREE FURTHER DOWN THE THREAD, SOMEONE'S SAID THE SAME THING.
THERE'S NO NEED TO QUOTE ANYTHING IF YOU'RE JUST REPLYING TO THE LAST ENTRY
IN THE THREAD THAT YOU'VE ATTACHED TO. IF PEOPLE ARE FOLLOWING THE THREAD,
THEY'LL KNOW WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO. PRESERVING GREAT BIG LONG POSTS IS A
SILLY WASTE OF SPACE, AND THE PRACTICE OF POSTING
' SNIPPET ' REPLIES IN THE MIDDLE OF EXISTING POSTS IS ANOTHER SILLY AND
CONFUSING THING, WHICH MAKES A THREAD HARD TO FOLLOW.

AND REALLY SCREWS THE CONTEXT AND MEANING.

AND IT'S ARFA not ARTA

AND JUST BECAUSE YOU WEAR SOCKS WITH YOUR SANDALS, DON'T ASSUME THAT
EVERYONE IS THE SAME.

THIS GROUP USED TO HAVE SENSIBLE PEOPLE ON IT, WHO GENUINELY TRIED TO HELP
ONE ANOTHER. NOW, IT JUST SEEMS TO BE FULL OF PEOPLE WITH SPOOF ADDRESSES
WHO JUST WANT TO SEE HOW SMART ARSED THEY CAN BE. KEEP IT.

THERE. I HOPE THAT'S IN THE RIGHT PLACE FOR YOU ALL, AND YOU CAN READ IT OK.

Dave, I haven't forgotten you, just been a bit busy. I'll get the schematics
copied and pdf'd and mailed to you direct.
