NAD 7140 repair-HELP
I recently picked up a NAD 7140. When plugged in it lights up and the relay audibly clicked, but no sound from any source or from headphone jack. I found the preamp does work with another power source. I understand that NAD products have had reliability issues. So, is anyone out there aware of a common fail in this line of receivers, where is the first and best place for me to check? I will try DIY repair as well with some direction, where to start? I don't see any obvious leaking caps or fried resistors. I also cleaned pots, buttons, and connections with electrical cleaner. One last thing, when I opened it up there were two slow burning fuses burnt out, neither being the main power fuse. I replaced them and they held when I turned the unit on. I may sound like I know what I'm doing, but I am brand new at tackling a self diagnosis and fix. I do find it a challenge that I want to take on and learn something along the way. I have scoured the internet for answers without any success.
I hope someone in this community can help and give direction.
Thank you!

Those fuses for tuner section only. If both channel of Amp section not working, start with power supply to diagnose. You can download service manual from http://www.vintageshifi.com/repertoire-pdf/Nad.php |
Thanks, it's good to know what those fuses are for. I did download a service manual. I'm not a tech, and after looking at it I am absolutely certain I do not know what to do😁. Is there a laymans step by step guide to identify component, test proceedure, multimeter settings, expected voltages, etc? A pictorial or a video? Again, I have scoured the Internet and cannot find what I am seeking. Thanks again |
http://home.windstream.net/wbittle1/vaud5.htm If I were you, after cleaned the speaker selector, relay contacts etc, if the amp section still not working, I will leave it as is, find a cheap used Adcom, B&k or Parsound power amp to pair with it. Again, please make sure the receiver is unplug from the AC outlet before you working on any thing inside. |
