TX-SR805 Funny Smell?? No Sound - Blu-ray Forum

mnfish · 03-09-2009, 10:59 PM

I got an Onkyo 805 today for free. Turns on....switches inputs just fine and I get a picture but no sound? Smells, too, like something has burned? I took the cover off and the smell is coming from the power supply. I'm wondering if that is the problem? And if so where can I get a PS? From Onkyo I'd imagine? Or is it (the rcvr) shot? I got it for free and if it's cheap enough I'd like to fix it to replace my Denon 2307. Or is that not a good idea, too?

You could try a third party repair shop since you don't have the warranty.

They do run hot. I would recommend what Audiophile said above. At least it was free.....geez.

Yeah...free is nice...Especially if it only cost you a couple hundred to fix what seems to be a perfectly running 805...I paid a cool $625 for mine.

I just plugged it in and the power supply started to smoke so I'm pretty sure it's shot. I might be able to get one on ebay. Am working with the guy as we speak.
