Here is an Actor DX Class D Amplifier, It is completely dead - does not start, no power... and no schematics! The fault isn't immediately obvious either. In fact everything seems OK but it just does not work. Yeah I know this one is an hour long but if you stick with it you may learn something new. And before you ask, yes I DO FIX IT but skip to the end and you will miss out on a lot of useful knowledge. This one is all about the journey, more than the result.
