Quite literally. My Beomaster 8000 started smoking after I turned it on. After initial inspection, the safety resistor 30R2 served its purpose. (see attached diagram)
Any ideas what could cause this? There is a ton of dog hair and dust inside, thats for sure. :/ I'll clean it up and continue inspecting the device later, the local electronics shop didn't have such small wattage resistors available. I'll probably do a proper recapping work too, I did change the big low voltage caps (C31, C33 and C34 on the PC6) due to misbehaving volume control some 10 years ago, perhaps the other caps are done now too. =)
