Re: EDP noise help (unsoldering) 2nd try



Sorry if I'm treading old ground - I usually skip EDP threads, but:

>the humming actually starts as soon as the mains cord is plugged in and is
>raised to crazy levels as soon as i power on.

that rather smells of plain old trusty ground loop to me. Have you ruled that out? Running the unit stand-alone / away from rack should help determine that.

Good luck,
Nic

many thanks to those who have tried surgestions...

ive tried all the ideas and am  sure the noise is definatly edp internals
related not the ambient conditions/ uk  voltage etc. i need advice from
anyone who has ever had to take off those damn heat/static covers on the
blackface unit  that now cover the two main chips that you could get to on
my beigeface  unit.
any tips of unsoldering, or should i try prising them off or maybe cutting
them off??
any final words of wisdom

cheers all

Phill
