Need some advice on a sick Alpine amp

Recommended Posts

Here's my old school Alpine MRV-F352. I used this for about 2.5 years or so and one day the 5th channel when out. The other four-channels still work fine. I've sent a few pics of the damage. Could some one tell me what I should do with this amp. I don't really need it anymore, but I don't think many people would want a 5 channel amp that only has 4 channels that work.

The damaged part is in the upper right hand corner. You can see the burn marks just under the model number.

I don't know very much about amp internals, Would this be a quick and inexpensive fix, or is it just not worth the effort. Thanks!

looks like the FET's I replaced in one of my old amps. You can buy them online for a dollar or two and replace them in 27 seconds with a soldering iron.

Could also send pictures to Chris at dB-r. See how much he would quote you to fix it.

I've never found the places which sell parts online :(

Any chance you can post a link ? :drink40:

I forget which place I ordered from. digi-key.com is a place Josh Laine recommended a few years ago that I remember. I think I ordered from Electronics Source, http://www.es.co.th
