Hi, I need some technical help from you guys..
Ive been trying to fix a problem with false contact in the decoupling caps area, and messing around with one of them, Ive touched with one leg the heathsink of a voltage regulator wich is under it (I did it with when the dac was running).
I think of a short circuit that burned something, maybe the voltage regulator (lm317) or maybe something else, because the sound now is so low that I can barely hear something at max volume of my amp. My uncle, which is an electrical technician, told me that a schematic will help to find out what could have happened, and if other components have burned. If someone can give me some tips about, even suppositions, or know if a schematic of the zero exists, please tell me!
Thanks a lot!

there isnt any schematic due to commercial products with rights.

what u can do is measure the power supply voltage at the 317 and 117 terminal. u should get +15 and -15 volt. becareful not to short it.

Pls tell us what u have found out. Did u get the voltage to the DAC, 1 x 3V and 3x5V dc.

Did u get smoke coming out when u short something. Any electronic that has smoke means it is fried.

Oh yeah. good idea.

Abel just chuck the Zero board somewhere.

Also the zero owner viscy is not working. Perhaps consider selling to chef of the board.

the signal from cd player can not be locked by the dac. try checking the connection.
