My stereo reciever (a JVC RX 5000V) was dropped onto cement floor, ever since the overload appears and flashes at me. I'm thinking it may be damaged but is there something simple I can do to maybe

SOURCE: JVC RX-7000V

As per the instruction manual the overload is there because of high volume condidtions and your over heating the unit. They recomend to turn down the volume shut off the reciver wait a few minutes and turn back on the unit with lower volumes. Second it states that the peaker wires or speakers could be shorted so make sure the speakers are good and the wires when you connected them to the reciver are not shorted. If all is hooked up properly then you have a problem in the output stage of the amp and its gonna need service unless you know how to replace the defective output devices? If not Go online at the addy I give you to find about service parts or service manuals.. Good Luck http://www.jvcservice.com

SOURCE: Receiver fuse continuosly blows when replaced and powered up

When a fuse blows it indicates that too much current is flowing. This melts the wire in the fuse.

What is actually damaged is hard to say, remove all the cables and test. If the fuse still blows take the unit in for service.

I doubt that a resistor has died, more likely something has created a direct short. It could be a power supply issue, or an issue with the amplifiers.

Ask for a quote first if it is out of Warranty.

SOURCE: Overload on Technics SA DA10

Cracked solder joints due to excessive heat cycling. Do not place in a shelf system. Top MUST be open for 1 ft. or better for proper convective cooling effect. Mine suffered same fate but repaired locally.

They don't overload from missing speakers. I'm curious, what buggered the one speaker?

Examine all of your speaker wires carefully to be sure no unintended contact is made between them and anything else.

Is "overload" being displayed?

“OVERLOAD” starts flashing on the display.

Speakers are overloaded because of high volume.

1. Press STANDBY/ON on the front panel to turn off the receiver.
2. Stop the playback source.
3. Turn on the receiver again, and adjust the volume.
----------------
Speakers are overloaded because of short circuit of speaker terminals.

Press STANDBY/ON on the front panel, then check the speaker wiring.

If “OVERLOAD” does not disappear after turning on the receiver again, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it back in again.
If speaker wiring is not short-circuited, contact your dealer.

The likely cause of this is a dead short in the power supply. I don't receal the specifics of this unit, but there should be a set of four(4) diodes or a single bridge rectifier in the main power supply area. Check this/these for a direct short using a diode checker. Other than that, the output transistors being shorted can cause hte same symptom. Without seeing the actual unit, I can not tell for sure. If you know how, check the output transistors as well. Report your results here.
