Make : JVC Model : AV36980 Problem : Set was dead , found the typical C926 (1000uf 35) bulged. Replaced that cap. Set now runs BUT the SMPS is noisy and buzzing , even in standby mode. Heatsink of the STRF6626 gets hot !! Installed another STRF6626 and replaced the 10uf 100V and 470uf 35V cap next to it...still buzzing! This was my last service call of the day (7:30pm).......brought the chassis back with me for further testing. Anyone encountered this before on this common JVC power supply design? ========================== Jeff Stielau Shoreline Electronics Repair 344 East Main Street Clinton,CT 06413 860-399-1861 860-664-3535 (fax) jstielau@xxxxxxxx ======================== "If you push something hard enough it will fall over."
