fatboy Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 my amp went on fire yesterday during practice, opened it up and had a look, the 2 temprature sensor circuits which a screwed to a big metal plate next to the cooling fans have been cremated, don't know why, I'm not having luck finding new sensor circuits on the net, can anyone help me with this, i have electrical experience so fitting the parts aint a problem, just finding themcheers paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Coholic Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 voltage regulatorsYour temperature sensors are more likely to be Voltage Regulators. They are bolted to the metal plate for cooling as they get hot and can blow up if not cooled properly. You will somehow need to find out the specs or type. I would remove them and check if anything is written on it or any indication of type? Or maybe try to ask MarshallMaplin sells some common types: Maplin > Voltage Regulatorsor else try RS components, they'll definitely have them.
