Stereo Receiver

How can you trouble shoot and repair a home stereo receiver?

I have a Yamaha HTR-5730 that will power on, and then immediately powers back off. Does anyone know how to troubleshoot or repair this stereo, or can you direct me to someone who can. I would prefer to do the work myself if possible, since the cost at a service center would be a large percentage of the replacement cost.

I use to get into tube amps and when I had that happen to me on them it was usually a bad cap (capacitor). This gets tricky as 20 years ago I would just tell you to replace them (caps) all because that is what I did on my collection of old tube amps. However, today finding good caps that equal the ones in capacitance value in your Yamaha is not so easy.

To find the bad cap spray each one individually with freon (the cold helps in holding the capacitance) and you will know the bad one once the power stays on. Caps look like mini beer cans. Of course after the freon thaws it will lose its capacitance and powers back down but now you know your problem child and know what to replace. Good luck on finding it.

Last but not least you might have to trust it to a pro. If this was an expensive amp then pay the money and have it done right or it will only brake again very soon. Wish I could have been of better help.

Edit update: I have replaced the caps on my modern computers motherboard with complete success, so it can be done even by todays standerds. Just insure that the capacitance is within 10%. I think that is how that law goes.
