Sony STR DA50ES no sound. where to begin?

Hi everyone, I have an oldy STR DA50ES, but now I have no sound in any channel. I turn on, here the first click, then hear the second click of the relays, but no sound at all. do you have any tip where I can start looking? I already tried to switch from speakers A to B, like a user told here at the forum, but without luck. PS. sorry for my english. I'm from Portugal. :-) Update #1 - I didn't find any blown fuses or capacitors.

You may be lucky and after resoldering the main output section, it might spring back to life.

Testimonial: "thanks for your quick replay. how can I identify the main output section?"

    So I found myself on vacation and start trying to repair this.
    I already resoldered all the main board and the rear amp board.
    then when I turn it on, it appears the "Protector" warning.
    I checked if I made some shortcut on any track, but didn't find any.
    So I started disconnecting the resistors that triggers the protector circuit.
    I disconnected R529, R579 and R629. I also disconnected R729 and R779 from the rear amp board.
    still showing "Protector".

    then I disconnected R632 and ... voila! the "Protecto mode" disappear and I can rear the relays clicking to connect the speakers.
    But I didn't connect anything because I want to get to the bottom of the issue.
    can anyone give me a help on what can be wrong since it is behind R632?

    thanks.

    You have disconnected the protect line from the Surround amplifier. Connecting a good loudspeaker to the faulty surround amplifier will damage your speaker!
    Fix the problem, don't bodge it.

    "Fix the problem, don't bodge it." - seriously?
    I just said that I didn't connect anything and was trying to isolate the faulty channel.
    Since April I being asking for some help or tips,
    And you that have the label "Sony Master" and Admin are the first one to not help.
    shouldn't be the opposite? An Admin shouldn't promote the users to help each other in a forum like this?
    So sad this...

    I managed to find the 2 faulty components by myself, and now it is working flawlessly.

    Really... so so sad this.

    Reading your post, there is no indication that you were going to repair it, just get it going. As a responsible Sony service agent, I am expected to ensure that the item is repaired. I see so many half fixed items that have failed straight away. It is my profession.
    If my wording was see as abrupt, I appologise but I now know, with confidence, you have repaired it.

I need a motherboard for a sony STR-DA50ES audio receiver and no shop was able to find one.

These boards are no longer available from Sony. What is the problem you are trying to solve? I have never needed to replace the entire board. One other option is to locate a "broken" unit from shop or Ebay and use the board from there.

If you can describe the problems, perhaps we can help to repair the existing board.

Sony DA50ES makes loud and scary clicking noise after its been on for about ten minutes, its loud enough to be distracting and annoying while watching movies. I'm wondering if I need to buy a new receiver...

Is the noise audible through the speakers or is it a physical clicking directly from inside the receiver?

If the former, what source(s) do it and are they digital or analog?

It doesn't appear there is a fan so NO physical noises should emanate from the receiver. I'd suspect an arcing component or something electrical. THAT might be dangerous to the receiver or even a fire hazard. Get it looked at.

Sony str-da50es. Does not power when power button is pushed.

Hi,
This problem is very common in this model the solution is to replace the fuse with improved one 10A 125V of type CES710A having part No.1-576-695-11. Remember that this fuse would be larger in size of earlier one so that you have to drill it first in the holder and adjust the fuse to a proper space of 1.4 drill bit.
Do the changes and your product work fine.
Thanks.

Makes an loud clicking/popping sound

The audio outputs are intermittently shorting to their supply and allowing DC voltage to pass - the speakers will be damaged if it continues. you can confirm this by measuring (with a dc voltmeter)at the speaker outputs for DC volts.

Sound turns off for Sony STR-DE875 amp

If you do not here a click as soon as the power is turned on, (note you must be in a very quite environment no noise absolutely to hear this) then the amplifier has blown output transistors which are pushing DC current to the speakers.

Protector fan

Hi there. Check for Dry solder joints around IC902,IC955,etc on Main board. This should sort your problem. IC902 supplies the Digital Board which in turn runs the fan circuit. This is why you won't have sound either. Be sure to unplug from mains and don't attempt if you do not have some experience in electronics. Hope this helps. Regards
