Amstrad DRX200 DRX300 DRX400 DRX500 Repair

 

For all Amstrad repairs the main cause of failure is the capacitors getting cooked, which can finally result in the complete destruction of most components on the PSU board.                       

                                              This example is a DRX 400 power supply.  
                                         

The digibox would work perfectly for 20 minutes then the signal would drop out ( Not Locked ).

 The only visible sign of component failure was capacitor C13  2200uf 6.3 volt

 There are 2 solutions to this problem. You can send it to me for a guaranteed repair or you can have a go at repairing it yourself. If you fancy the DIY option some good soldering skills and a basic knowlage of electronic components should get you through without incident.


                                                                                                                                                                                  

Repair kits are available from various sources, which differ in quality by some considerable degree. Many components can be found on the internet and sold on to you in the form of kits at bargin prices. The kits used by me and recommend, are sourced from www.satcure.co.uk
