    Sony STR-DE305 Left Channel Cutout

    So mad. I had a sony STRDE90ES that blew a fuse on the left output stage board. There's also no reason it couldn't be a cap, sony was notorious for using cheap caps that completely severs the circuit. Could it also be cracked, or a bad solder, sure. Bottom line, he wants to get in there and...

    Hi I had to reintall windows xp and have no audio now
