As we all know, smoke is built into electronic devices, and when you let this smoke out, the device doesn't work anymore.
My JBL amp needs new smoke now. It was an inexpensive used unit, that worked fine and lasted about a year. I noticed the left channel went quiet and when I checked it with the fader and balance controls both rear channels went out. I didn't actually see the smoke but I smelled it when I opened the trunk.
Now I've got two bad JBL amps. I'm going to try to combine the parts to get one good amp out of them. I'm not going to waste too much time on it, it will actually be a winter project, when I can't be outside washing and waxing my cars.
I've got an electronics background, but a schematic diagram of the amplifier would help a lot. Would the EVTM (?) manual have it?
Does anyone have a schematic or know where I could get one?
Here's a photo of where the smoke leaked out :
