Can anyone help diagnose/repair my Scythe SDAR-3000 amp?
I have wanted one of these for some time now and finally found one for sale, but the seller was dishonest with me and it arrived in a sorry state. The first issue is that the power input seems to have been modified, and has since gotten detached:
I have no idea how to fix this. All other pictures I can find of this amp seem to have a different power connector with either a single pin or a single hole, rather than two pins.
Additionally, before the power lead fell off, I noticed that the amp is not outputting any audio. The VU meters also don't move. The device did power on as all the LEDs lit up; this includes the mode display LEDs' proper functioning when changing the mode. After opening up the device, I did notice a bulgy capacitor. I am wondering if that is the (only) issue, but I am entirely clueless with electronics. I asked Bing Chat how to test the capacitor with my multimeter and it told me to test it for resistance with the device turned off, which came back as a static 1271 Ohms, something Bing Chat said could indicate that it is faulty (but I'd like a second opinion on this).
If anyone is willing to help me save this awesome little amp, I would be very grateful. Thank you.
