I have a Onkyo TX-SV717Pro that will not come out of standby. PS is
sending 13v out. i have checked the output transistors and they are
good. does anyone know of a common problem for these amps?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Is it clicking repeatedly?

Gary,

I have a recollection of a different model from the same era
(TX-SV414PRO) that had some 1/4 watt fuse resistors that would open.
These were on the main board. Sorry I don't remember the values, but
they were under 100 ohms, and I think it was R921,922,923,924. I'd
always change all four, and upgrade them to half watters.

Again, I'm recalling from a different model so this may not apply.

Regards,

I'm pretty sure it does apply. Very similar inside. These models were real
"cookers". There was a very involved mod which involved actually cutting
away the burned area and adding a daughter board complete with regulators. I
never did this mod myself. These units weren't worth it even back then...

There is no relays clicking and no burnt components or even darkened
areas on any pcb. Ive got +13v going out from the pc but nothing coming
back on the power line(labeled on ps connector). I found q706 to be bad
and replaced it. I get vdd of 2.34vdc into q701 (microprocessor). I also
see 5vdc from the power switch shorting to gnd when activated. I do not
see anything coming out of the pin labeled power. I am thinking either
the IC should have a greater vdd or the chip is bad?

Thanks for any and all help
Gary
