If you can locate a tech to work on it and going by what Jc2000 believes the problem is you might be able to simply bypass the protection circuit with the proper fuse. I've heard of it being done in other brands where the circuit becomes balky. If you are thinking of throwing it away you certainly don't have much to lose. Protection circuits for the whole amp are sometimes located where the power supply enters and before the transformer. I'm guessing that the output transistor circuit protector is near the output transistors but you need a schematic. I would suggest you take the top off and listen for a clicking noise but if you haven't worked on electronics before don't. Just find a repair shop or give to an aspiring EE. Don't throw it away. Someone will want it and keeps it out of the landfill.
Linn Intek problem
Hi, everybody. I have a problem with my intek. I actually got it from a friend of mine and I connected to my speaker but no sound comes out. instead of sound just comes bang when I turn off amp. so I was trying again and again then sound came out for short while then again went away. I opened the cover look inside very carefully and it look very clean. does anyone have ideas for this problem? and how can I fix it. I can't do it my self and I already contacted linn but they are not going to fix it(because it is too old... What ever...). Please help me out... Thanks in advance.
