No Sound In 3 Channel Subwoofer System
The complaint of this 3 channel sub woofer system was that the right speaker does not have sound.
In order to see the circuit board inside, one need to open up the cover as shown in the below photo:
Below photo is the amp PCB board and I did not see any loose cable connection.
Next I powered up the board for couple of minutes before turning it off and touch on the semiconductors especially the ICs. What I found was that the two 14 watt Hi-fi audio amplifier ICs were shorted because both were overheated.
You can see the tda2030 ic schematic below:
I took the PCB board out and tested it with buzzer test and it seems that few of the legs were shorted to ground. It was surprised that even with this kind of short circuit the system did not shutdown and only affect the right speaker.
I continued to resolder all the components joints in the circuit board to prevent any future problem cause by the dry joints. By the way, there were no other bad components in the circuit board.
I replaced the two audio amplifier ICs and then tested the subwoofer again and found that it was working perfectly fine.

Good job Suranga. I have a similar unit that needs repair, but only works on the front speakers, not centers or rears. It is in my 'to do' pile, but will check out for shorted components as you have described.
Thanks!

Good Job Mr. Suranga. The TDA 2030 is an Amplifier that exists for quite a long time now. I didn't even know that they still used it in Audio systems. I believe they are originally made by Philips and/or SGS-Thomson. The Amplifier has a Thermal Shut down circuit integrated. But the TDA 2030 is hard to get in places like in the United States. I read that the NTE 1380 is an exact replacement? Mostly 2 of them are used in a Bridged way for more Power. That's probably because of the mostly low Power Adapter Voltages since you need 10 times the power for any sound to be twice as loud. They are normally almost indestructable and could also be found in TV-sets.

What causes subwoofer bass speaker to remove harm sounds,rather than the main filter capacitors
