Sony lbt-x5g500 i bought this set second hand. its worked peferctly for 3 years. now it cuts off after 45 seconds generating the message 'push power protection button'. problem is i don't have the manual and there is no 'power protection button' please advice.

Power protect tends to mean the main power amp chip has "blown" and needs to be replaced. It only costs about 20 dollars (10GBP). If you are handy with a soldering iron it is easy to do (after you get the thing to bits !) It is the big black thing on the big heatsink inside. The Sony part number is STK442 - 130. Seems a waste to throw the whole thing away for the sake of 10 pounds !. Hope this helps. Nik Howell ([email protected])
