D200 Mod 2.0.1

[yabaVR]

Hello everyone.

I really didn't know where to ask this but since there seams to be knowledgeable people here i thought i would give it a go.

This evening i was playing around trying different power cables and i think i have killed my D200. After un plugging a Less Loss and then plugging in a Crystal cable i got absolutely nothing... completely dead. So i wonder if the Dev have fuses and could it be a simple fix of perhaps replacing said fuse... or am i dreaming and this is going to be bigger than Ben Hur ??

It is very very strange... i have swapped cables in and out before without issue. Maybe there was something waiting to happen and it is a mere coincidence.

Anyway, if i open it up will i find an easy to replace fuse ? Is it likely to be the problem ?

Cheers
James

Hi James,
no problem to ask here.

Open the bottom plate of your D and after that unscrew 4 screws of the Power Filter Board shown in the pic. Then gently lift it from the motherboard. On it you have two SMD-Fuses 6.3A T (orange arrows). Take a Multimeter and measure if both fuses have a short circuit between the contacts soldered to the board. If they have they are ok. Then you have to send your amp to Devialet.
If they are burned (no short) you can buy some new online or give the Power Filter Board to someone who can change the fuses for you. Quick & easy job...you can wait for it.

It might be that you just so rarely picked up an electrical impuls on the power line and blew up the fuses. Remember not to change power cables quickly with in a second. Just leave it unpluged for at least 5 seconds. Then plug in the other cable. This way the amp can even out the voltage on its input.

If you are able to solder you can solder any other 6.3A T fuses to the Power Filter Board. But soldering must be done quick on the fuses not to ruin them.
