i was listening chocolate wheelchair and suddenly *silence* fuck this shit, i can't listen to mp3 from my computer either since that goes via that amp. too
nothing at all, only mtv or something! fuck fuck fuck hell hell hell
oh i'm not looking for sympathy or advice or something btw, i know i just need to get a new one or get it fixed (asap) but i had to shout and scream for a second because of this,

condoleances... T_T
i absolutely hate when this kind of thing happens. : ( i want to kill myself when this kind of thing happens to me, most of the time (and then it goes better after a few days/weeks when the problem is solved).......
sometimes i just plug off everything and sleep and go outside and don't touch my computer for a few days when it (my computer) goes berserk.

eh. must have been good old amplifier, then... if it lasted that long... probably nowadays you won't find one lasting that long. (or maybe i'm just pessimistic, i know fuck all about amplifiers)
i personally wouldn't mind AT ALL if my computer headphones cd player etc. would last for 40 years!! ; )

Morton: Open up the case and check no fuses have gone. They tend to go on 70's amps. If it is anything more complicated you will need tools and knowledge.

Well that's bad :-/ Don't you work at Phillips anymore? Maybe you can "borrow" one from them ;-)
I hope you're doing okay without being able to listen to music though... I wonder how long it would take for me to go crazy without music..

i wish i lived in norway :-/
It's been so long since we've had some really good snow over here. I remember from my childhood i would actually build snowpuppets and have snowballfights... a thick carpet of snow.
But that's years ago. Nowadays we usually only get 2 or 3 days of snow in the winter, and it always melts right away :-(

Did you work in electronics at Phillips? I work as an electronic engineer apprentice, but, even I could give an Amp a good shot. If its old, and if its been putting out a lot of power, it may have given up the ghost, or it may have overheated, try checking the thermal overload circuit, or looking for charred or blackened dead components. Check all the output transistors, they should be the big heafty ones. Look on the internet for data sheets, or use your finger on them to see if any are considerable hotter than the others, bear in mind ones with heatsinks are bound to run hot, but if it is a push-pull, then if one is symetrical to another, or v.v.similar, yet 10x hotter,i.e. burns flesh, its probly dead... Check the PSU, make sure all supply rails are working.(you should probly do this 1st)Just check for something obvious, check the fuse(it happens).You will probably need a DVM / multimeter / some kind of volt/ohm/ammeter or something. Check the wiring for shorts, like the input/output hasnt worked loose, and grounded to the chassis. hope some of this makes sense.good luck.

hey thanks for all that advice :) i'll give it a shot tomorrow.
i didn't work in electronics at philips though, but in the chemistry department; coatings, inks and the development of flexible lcd displays were the main things i worked on

shame!
"and i think i'm already going crazy actually.. :D"
Nah, but i meant even crazier than usual ;-)
" that's a really cool avatar you got there mister"
Thanks! I'm kinda dissapointed by it myself. Stupid 12kb-limitations :-/
I first tested out an animation with only the normal picture of george. And it could handle 4 frames (4 exactly the same frames, just the regular picture) and still be below 12kb.
After that i added the snow... and then for some reason the file became bigger. It was exactly 12,0 kb large. But xltronic wouldn't accept it :-o "file too big!".
So i had to remove one of the frames :-/ It's only 3 frames now. Originally the snow came down a little smoother :-p But since no-one saw the original 4frame version, they probably won't notice ;-)
