Yamaha TX816 PSU Whine

2005-10-09 by bitjiggle

Hi all,

I finally received the TX816 I've been lusting after half of my life.
I turn it on and after a half hour I hear a very high pitched sound
coming from the left side where I assume the power supply is. Is this
the sound of a dying capacitor or regulator? Should I open her up and
change whatever I can before it blows?


Thanks
