ADA8000 started smoking
Sooooo.. I was messing around with my a diy subkick i was working on with my ADA8000( which i use for non essential extra channels when I'm tracking drums mostly), and I started noticing that distinct smell of burning plastic. To my horror the smoke appeared to be coming out of my rack. More specifically out of the ADA8000. Immediately i killed the power and unplugged the unit, but I'm pretty sure the damage has been done. I opened it up, and it looks like the MOSFETS might be the culprits....
Anyone else had a similar experience?
jeez... looks like i'm going to have to put a new unit on the dreaded credit card. any suggestions?

you're certain it wasn't something in the power supply?
ages back, a friend of mine had the bridge rectifier burn up in...was it his Emulator II+HD?
a trip to Radio Shite and some solder fumes and it was back in business.
anyway, might not be so simple a fix on an SMT piece like this.

There are no MOSFETs in an ADA8000.charlievela wrote:Sooooo..

Thanks for the replies, I took some pictures of the offending components. They seem to be labeled IC26 and IC27 I can't really get a good look at their values. Voltage regulators? I'm still a student of electronics. This seems like it might be a great real-world learning exercise. Any advice that might be offered would be great. PS. Since this has turned into a fixing gear issue, maybe it should be moved to the DIY Gear forum.
Once again thank you for your help
