IR imaging and other direct temperature measuring techniques are used to detect hot spots in equipment and power distribution systems. Opening the equipment to see whatever it is you are looking for is wasting your time unless you know what you are doing and looking for. Enjoy the music instead.

Heat is one of the biggest enemies of electronic equipment. Does anyone know if this Heat is only at the output transistors and their heatsinks o8is it also present in other components within the unit.
I was planning to remove the top cover and with a IR thermometer going to check temps..
Has anyone done this?
