Akai LCT2662 won't turn on, indicator solid orange

Electrolytic Caps do not always fail visibly.

Power up the set with the back off it so you can check some voltages on the power supply.

Mainly what you want to check is the 24 volt supply to the inverter baord. With set on, there should be 23 to 27 volts present. If not- power down and unplug set and let it sit for a minute for capacitors to discharge. unplug the connector for the 24 volt supply to the inverter board if it is seperate from the power supply. plug it in and power it up again and see if the 24 volts is present. If it is, Check the inverter board capacitors. Visually and with a capacitor tester. and reflow any questionable solder connections on inverter and power supply board.

If 24 volts is not present- recap the 24 volt section of the power supply and check the solder connections in that section- reflow any of the questionable solder connections. Plus test the power devices in power supply, sometimes a couple MOSFETS and sometimes several bipolar transistors.

If 24 volts was present and the inverter board checked okay visually, reflow all solder connections on inverter and test the switching transistors- some will need to be removed from circuit if they initilaly test bad- this can happen with the low inductance of the inverter transformers. Test capacitors or just replace them outright on inverter and power supply board.

Any luck getting this fixed?Please let me know.Thank You very much!
