Yes i have an ONKYO TX-SV70PRO that i think just blew the amp.i need to know if it's fixable{i mean parts available} and a guess as to what the cost might be.
Yes it is fixable, the parts are available. The cost can vary, depending on the rates of the shop you take it to and the actual amount of damage that it has.
On average, a blown channel in a receiver will cost anywhere between $120 and $200, most of which are around the middle of that amount. I would expect to pay about $150. This is a very good receiver and is well worth the repair cost in most cases. Almost all service centers will give you an estimate before you commit to paying for a repair. If it is a free estimate, it is usually just a free guess. A paid estimate is always more accurate and will normally save you money in the long run. The reason for that is, if a shop owner gives a free estimate he is not going to have one of his technicians look at it and troubleshoot it. If you refuse the estimate he still must pay his technician if the technician has looked at it. A paid estimate will ensure the lowest cost because it will be more accurate. Free estimates are almost always a higher estimate to make sure they can cover the cost no matter what is wrong. Even if they find something small, they will usually charge you the full estimate that you have approved already. With a paid estimate they do not want to loose the job after committing the technicians time to find out what is wrong. Figuring out what is wrong is more than half the battle. Sometimes a technician must actually fix the problem completely just to be sure there is nothing else wrong and that the estimate will be good. Nobody likes to get an estimate and approve it, then a day or two later get a new estimate because they found something else wrong that they could not detect until the other part of the problem was fixed. It happens all the time, I have been a technician for over 18 years and have seen just about everything. The bottom line is, a paid estimate is better than a free estimate. Plus, when you pay for an estimate the shop will apply that payment towards the total repair cost, so in the end it is a free estimate if you get the unit fixed.
