Crash

I contacted the UK distributer he said Hi Dave, I doubt it will be cost effective to repair one of the original Gamer amps so it might be worth looking at getting the BKA-130-C which is the current digital version used in the Gamer2 package. this costs £140 We do not keep any parts for these, but the resistor value is .22 ohms although you will probably find that just replacing the visually obvious failed components won't necessarily fix the amp - could be the old can of worms I'm afraid. I can source the capacitor in the UK for £3.85 plus £12 postage! I can also source one from China for £5 inluding postage but they dont give either the temperature it works at or the phyisical dimensions I have sent them a message though. One place in Hong Kong has one that is 35mm diameter when I need a 30 mm one. As the caps are vey close together that one is a no go.

16,796 out of 16,896 found this review useful what did the other hunded think!

Update It appears that a resistor melted so I cant see what the value was. I dont suppose that anyone here has a Buttkicker? If so could you photograph the resister that is circled in the bottom photo. If I cant find the reistance value then then I think its dead.

and expensive

I told wifey that I might get a jacket. She says "I`ll come with you" me "its errr errr a DangerDog jacket" . She shakes her head. She must think I am a bit of a geek

I might be ordering a jacket

Thanks for that, so you guys think that the rest of it should be OK? If there is any risk of pain I might get the electronics guy to do it

Here is what it looks like

Hi Nick. Its about 2 years old. Due to the VERY noisey small fans I modded it. I put a large PC case fan with a speed control unit and I am sure that it didnt cause the problem. My opinion of Buttkickers is that its worth paying £50 for one but not the £100+ they are asking. A local electrical repair shop wants £30 to look at it. A capacitor costs about £8 so if the chances are good that there is no other damage I might de-solder the capacitor and pop on a new one or get the repair shop to do it .

There was a strange smell and a glow When I took the cover off I could see that one of the capacitors (12000uF 50V) had burn marks on it, but no other apparent damage. I can can get a replacement part quite cheap but is it likely that other parts have given up as well. I dont normally do stuff like this.

I will try my best

I have a spare OEM xp.sp1 with sp2&3 CDs. Want it? I have activated it a couple of times but there was no problems.

Why not ask on a Canon forum? Might have happened before.

This makes it even more exciting

We need a countdown clock!

This is going to run and run .............

You will get on well with Painless

Glad you had a good time. Why not do the Duxford thing next time you are over?

Yeah what he said

Happy birthday guys
