Sorry about the color in the earlier post, I didn't think it would automatically do that. As for the liquid, once I found that the fan had been bad for so long, I knew there would probably need to be a lot of work done on the amp, so I will have a pro check everything in it.

When I opened the amp I saw two huge caps going to a transformer. Are those the filter caps. As for the transistors, they were lined up on a heatsink and looked fine. I would never have guessed that the fan seized up if I had not have noticed some liquid on a circuit board under the fan blades...

I had tested the caps after opening it and they were discharged. As for making sure they still had all of their capacity; my volt meter couldn't count that high. Also I have an other amp, that I was about to use to replace the broken one, that maKes a 6o Hz buzz out of one of the output channels.

TOO late, I already opened it. I found that the cooling fan was jammed, so the amp has been over heating every day for a couple of years or more.

Thanks for the suggestion that is a bad cap, that was what I was looking for.

I do have permission to open it as they trust me and trust that I won't attempt anything that I don't know how to do. I would not risk doing anything to the amp that I'm not 100% sure I could do. I am opening it just to see if I can find anything wrong, and if it isn't an easy fix, I would take...

First of all I want to inspect the circuits to make sure nothing is burnt or broken. As for a discharge tool, could I use something such as a 120v low watt light? Do you know what could be causing the problems I listed above in the first post, I have already narrowed it down to the amplifier.

I already did that, and the other amp sounded great.

One of my amplifiers (crown 810) is distorting the sound alot. It sounds like the kind of distortion you might get when setting a compressor very high. Also, some days after it has been left on for about 5 hours it will make a loud pop, and this pop will increase in frequency to about one every...

The light board has been sent off at least 3 times without luck, and fixing it is very low priority. It has been upgraded to win 98.

I did that show a year ago and used sparklers, and firecrackers for the disaster scene. The firecrackers were set off back stage, but they fly around enough you may get some flying out a door if you wish.

By the way all of the old shows have been erased and the hard drive is defragmented and it still has problems. I am suprized I actually found my windows 95 disc, after 16 years and it was right in front of my face!

I have considered these possibilities. I was going to test the lighting program on newer operating systems. I'm also currently looking for my windows 95 disc, so far I've only found my microsoft ms-dos discs:).

I think I found the cause of the problem and I don't think there is a solution. After messing around with an old computer of mine with windows 95 it was not long before I got the blue screen. I read it, and I think it is caused by either too hard of a task for the system to perform, or it is...

That might be too easy:). I was hoping for a more hands on project, and it's nothing urgent, I'm getting a new board and will use the lehigh again when the new theatre is built. Does anybody know exactly what causes freezes and crashes?
