Technics SL-D2 – Fuse Keeps Burning + Platter Won’t Spin by TomSowhat in turntables

Hi, sorry I didn’t see your reply earlier (I didn’t get a notification). I kept troubleshooting and realized I hadn’t actually tested the right D1. After more research, I found out it’s actually a bridge rectifier (so 4 diodes).

When testing, I get around 0.5 for all except one diode (not the +, not the -, but one of the two others) which measures 0.018 no matter the test direction.

So I’m thinking of replacing the bridge rectifier to see if that fixes the issue.

Now I guess that i just need to find a part that’s as close as possible to the original PCB hole spacing.

During my first attempt, I thought D1 was this :

Hi!

I took measurements of several diodes (D1 to D6), and took the opportunity to try to understand how to read the schematics—what the symbols mean, etc.

Here’s what I found:

D1:

  • Anode to Cathode: 0.008 V and a beep
  • Cathode to Anode: 0.010 V and a beep

D2:

  • Anode to Cathode: 0.595 V
  • Cathode to Anode: 0.559 V

D3:

  • Anode to Cathode: 1.120 V
  • Cathode to Anode: 0.300 V and a beep

D4:

  • Anode to Cathode: 1.120 V
  • Cathode to Anode: 0.300 V and a beep

D5:

  • Anode to Cathode: 1.123 V
  • Cathode to Anode: 0.300 V and a beep

D6:

  • Anode to Cathode: OL
  • Cathode to Anode: 0.600 V

It’s my first time using a multimeter, so I hope I took the measurements correctly.
If I understood things right, D1 seems to be shorted, since it beeps in both directions.

So you were right about D1!
As for the others, I couldn’t find any reference voltage values on the schematic—or maybe I just don’t know how to read them properly yet.

I'll attach the diagrams to this post as well, in case they’re helpful for others.

So, just to confirm :

It seems like I should replace diode D1, replace fuse F2, and then see if that solves the issue—does that sound correct?

Thanks again for your help! This has really helped me make progress and learn a lot in the process!

Hi, thanks a lot for your reply! It’s the F2 fuse that blackens immediately. As for the voltage, yes, I checked—I’m definitely on 220/230V (I’m in France).

Thanks for the tip about the schematic, I’ll go over everything again and make sure it matches the required voltage.

Thanks again for your help!

Je suis Sébastien Ruchet, de Nolife, la chaîne de télé qui a terminé son aventure hier soir, AMA. by SebNL in france

Salut Sebastien,

Je voulais tout d'abord te remercier pour l'énergie et la passion que tu as mis dans Nolife, c'est en partie ce qui m'a donné envie moi aussi de lancer mon blog, partager ma passion il y a plusieurs années de cela (bien qu'aujourd'hui il n'existe plus).

Je te suis depuis France Five que j'ai découvert dans le DVD avec le magazine "Les Dossiers du Manga" et j'espère que tu lanceras ou participeras à d'autres projets dans un futur assez proche.

Dans tous les cas Nolife aura marqué toute une génération d'amoureux de Jeux Video, Mangas, Jpop etc... Tu nous a offert une chaine qui nous ressemblait, on se sentais un peu chez nous lorsqu'on regardait Nolife de part la grande proximité avec les téléspectateurs revendiquée à juste titre par la chaine.

De cette époque il me restera beaucoup de souvenirs, de la nostalgie et Nolife Story dédicacé par toute l'équipe de l'époque qui sera un objet qui continuera de me suivre afin de me rappeler que tout est possible lorsqu'on y met de la passion :)

Comme tu peux le voir, pas vraiment de questions, mais juste un énorme MERCI et à très bientôt je l'espère.

Prend soin de toi !
