Subject:     OUTPUTS FAIL - REPLACE PARTS AND HARDWIRE GROUND TO CHASSIS
Symptom:     151
Last Update: 2000-11-14
Status:      Closed

Customer Description:
Outputs fail.
Solution:
Good idea, the ground problems noted in earlier models were never
considered as a cause for the high usage of output transistors. We had
sent a diagram to Boston showing your technique for hardwiring the
ground(s). There has been limited success using I found that if I hard
wire the grounds on main board that I do not get the unit back in the
shop. So when I replace the output and fuses hand hard wire all the ground
points to the chassis. this, apparently no one fix has been found to solve
this problem in all cases.
