I have the same problem as others - a 9 year old RX-V995 receiver that would not stay on, and now will not turn on at all. The problem started about a year ago, and my fix then was to leave the unit powered up all the time. If I turned the unit on and off, there were times where it would not turn on. Over the weekend the unit shut off and I could not power it back on. I could hear the main relay drop out in a second. I found that if I pushed on the relay a certain way the unit would power up. That suggested a bad solder joint on the relay. I re-worked the 4 solder joints, but no fix - the unit would not start unless I pressed on the relay again. I now suspect a bad relay (DEC DG1U-12V) - do you agree? If not what else could it be? Where can I get a new relay - and where can I get the Yamaha part number?

HI,
Start by checking the fuse, take the cover off the reciever and look for a small glass fuse attached to the board. If it's blown replace it.

Many different Yamaha amplifiers have a faulty capacitor on the Standby power PCB. I would replace the capacitor on that board first. My RX-V2500 had the same symptoms and I changed the 22nF 630V (orange) capacitor and now it's fixed.

This problem is now fixed. The solution is to replace the relay. I ordered a replacement relay from Vance Baldwin Electronics - part RELAY DC DG12D1-0/M11 RXV2095 (V6881300). After installing the relay this morning, my receiver now stays on continuously like it is supposed to. You can easily fix this yourself in about an hour. All you need is a screwdriver, a soldering iron, and some solder.
