Sounds like a possible audio failure. I would not power it up any more until checked out. What model # is this? G
hay G 20-2613-1 susquehanna sd70m is there any other # then the one on the box thanks jack k
Jack, That is the model number. This is a PS-2 3V so it is possible it can be repaired at the component level. Could be a bad speaker, or a pinched wire shorted audio amp, and the other possibility is a bad fan motor. Was smoke on or off? G
the smoke unit was on i added smoke fluid hit start up she did smoke then i hit the horn it worked then the bell it started ringing then the buzzing sounded like it was from the speaker it did have a little smell of brunt electric after i shut it down
I would suspect audio amp. Needs to be checked out. G
ok i see you are mth authorized do you work on stuff like this no body arond where i am likes to work on the ps2 or ps3 stuff let me know thanks for the help jack k
I do Jack. My e-mail is in my profile. G
Let me add that George does fantastic work with these MTH electronics- he's done some repairs for me and I am totally pleased with his work and prices!!
George, Your the man. Do you think MTH will ever maker a stronger audio amp that will not go bad as easy it seems like these go bad most of the time for most of the problems?
Wish I could be there to suck up some of the knowledge that you have, George.
