Marshall g15rcd replaced lm1875t now has loud hum, no signal output

I replaced the LM1875T due to physical damage,(broken leads) and now on power up I get a loud hum unresponsive to the controls. Not a 60 hz hum, but about 200-300 hz(I'm guessing the Freq). Possibly grounded the chip to the heat sink?- I used non conductive compound, insulator and nylon bushed screw. Did I inadvertently ground the chip or should I look somewhere else?

SOURCE: Hi, I have a Marshall 8240. The Reverb output

probably the reverb tank These coils are very thin and tent to break easily

SOURCE: Greetings. My MG 250 DFX

I believe the design of this results in what you are seeing... Check each speaker INDIVIDUALLY plugged into the MAIN output as plugging into the second jack shifts the tap of the output transformer to the 4 ohm tap which results in a 6 Db drop but now you have two speakers... the apparent level change will be almost unnoticeable.. Do comparision of the speakers individually using the MAIN jack. This is just the characteristics of the beast...

This sounds like a DC feedback problem in the power amp. Check all the resistors R86 through R96. Verify that capacitor C80 is healthy. The right tool to solve this is an oscilloscope.

SOURCE: I got marshall 410h bought it from USA I thought

Likely destroyed the rectifiers AND the filter capacitors. Replace the capacitors and the rectifiers. There are a lot of them. There are fuses so some of those may have saved some parts.

D10 through D14 and D16,D17 and D20,D21 Some of these may have survived so test each.

C51 and C52, C26,C34 probably gone. Check the Bias supply is working at expected bias voltage.

SOURCE: My Marshall Haze 40 Amp started making a very loud

may be one of the electrolytic capacitors in the power supply has become leaky...this is a common problem among amplifiers...so you let it cool down..then after a period of time the capacitor heats up and then causes the hum...the power supply caps filter out the 60 hertz ac line noise...which is probably the frequency of the sound it is making...this is a good indication of these caps going bad....another thing you can check is to see if the amp is properly grounded(eg: the ground pin on the plug is present) and that you dont have an open cord or input

I bought a Marshall as50d 2 months ago, it sounds great but my problem is that it shuts down after 10-15 minuets! Total disconnection as if u pulled the AC plug!! The red light on the power button turns...

This can be due to either a RUNAWAY of some power circuit or there is a dry point of soldering which seems to get aggravated when the board is working or heating.
So when the fault occurs check the power to the amplifier, the output stages. If a tap bring about life then the case of the dry soldering is justified.
If not this can be due to power failure due to semiconductor failure. A tracing with voltage/current/signal will be needed to confirm . USe a multimeter to check the voltage line , check the secondary to the circuits, specially the outputs.

Marshall MG100HDFX, VERY loud painful humming/noises as soon as the amp is turned on. Cant be adjusted by volume or anything, is this a connection problem?

Likely the filter capacitor(s) have failed OR the power amp has shorted driving DC with ripple into your speaker (very bad). Take it for repair before damage might be done.

Whats the impedance of the loudspeaker of a Marshall G15rcd ? I want to improve the sound of it.

Almost all of these small 15 Watt units run 8 ohm speakers...

Do NOT expect to get much improvement from changing speakers.

Marshall mg10cd amp has no volume

Common causes:

Broken input jack.

Blown power amp chip due to overdriving.

Smashed pots due to tipping over or transportation damage.

Blown power supply due to bad power at a venue.

In some cases, grounding the headphone jack can blow amp.

Hi have been given a Marshall MBB15 amp to find out why it doesnt produce sound through the input jack, have checked inside, looks like the resistors connected directly to the input jack are dead. Could...

Dead resistors? The evidence would be if the resistors are cracked OR if their is evidence of smoke/fire around them.

In either case, there would LIKELY be damage at least one or two layers deep beyond those resistors if in fact they are fried. If they are cracked physically, teh circuit board also may be cracked due to physical bending. Tripping over an inpout cable can do this.

Causes of this would be shorting the input to power line voltage or the output of a high powered amplifier.

I question that the resistors are "dead".

THE USUAL cause of failures of these small amplifiers is frying of the output power chip which is often in the TDA family of 5/7 terminal amplifier chips in modified TO220 packages.

Another less common problem is failure of the rectifier and filter capacitor combination.

More than likely you have a power issue. Look closely at the main filter caps. These are the 2 larger than the other caps. They are usually about 4700uf at 63v (generic values but yours should be close). Check them for swelling, if no signs of that then you will need to due a capacitance check on them. Sometimes but not always, they will show bad on an esr meter also.

Looking for a schematic for a Marshall G 15 R cd what is the value of the gain 2 potetiometer? ....it is broken. arithebassplayer @hotmail.com

THANK YOU ENZO,
I FOUND THE BROKEN POTENTIOMETER IN MY PARTS BOX.(250 K OHM)
THE AMP HUMMED WHEN I PLUGGED IN A GUITAR.
THAT'S WHEN I KNEW TO REPLACE THE TRANSISTOR (LM1875T)
BASED ON WHAT YOU TOLD ANOTHER FELLOW ON YOUR FORUM.

I LOCATED A SEMICONDUCTER SELLER IN RUSSEL, PENNSYLVANIA
( B&D ENTERPRISES. 1- 800- 458-6053.)

THEY HAD THE TRANSISTER I NEEDED TO BRING THE AMP BACK TO LIFE.

I RECIEVED THE PARTS 5 DAYS LATER.
AND AFTER I INSTALLED THE PARTS, AND ASSEMBLED THE UNIT,I WAS PLAYING THAT AMP UNTIL BEDTIME... 10 PM.
WOW AM I HAPPY!!!
THANK YOU GUYS.... ALL OF YOU !!! ARITHEBASSPLAYER.... AND GUITARPLAYER
