Audio aero capitole mk2 need help repairing

Dear: friends,

I have owned this great mk2 cdp for years, recently problem starts to appears, it switches off by itself and turns back on again while playing, and this switching on and off wont stop untill i have to power down the unit and let it rest for a few seconds before turning the power on again. However, this happens in sequence like after a few minute again while playing. It keeps on switching on and off by itself while playing.

I really love this aero, one of the best, most intimate, detail and warm digital player, and it is hard for me to find a replacement, so i would kindly seek help on similar problem and resolution to repair this...

Pls help...thanks alot and I would appreciate any advice....

guys, its been a while since I finally managed to get the chinfa KAM3005. I put it in the storage for a while (almost a year now) waiting for the perfect time to replace it. Just recently I had a leisure time to open the Capitole mk2 lid thinking to replace the dc module, but ..viola, I did not see any CHINFA there inside the capitole..

Oops, anyone knows or have opinion where is this Chinfa located in the gut of this CDP please?.. Thanks alot Guys..

Regards
JP

The Chinfa KAM3005 is a AC - DC Module takes anything for 85V to 240V AC and converts it to 5VDC to feed the digital circuits in the AA players. Its no longer available but there are several suitable replacement modules available. Thy are however not plug and play, they need to be relocated to in front of the power supply card then hardwired back to the card.

At the same time it is a good idea to properly heat sink the TO220 regulators etc on the Power supply card as it shows the run too hot.

Best of luck
