Has your amplifier, music system or car stereo gone silent? In most cases the sound disappears because of one specific component: a burnt-out power transistor, a worn connector, failing capacitors or a broken contact. Such a fault can be found and fixed, so there is no need to buy new equipment right away.
Taisykla7 has been repairing electronics since 2007. We accept home Hi-Fi equipment, amplifiers, receivers, speakers, as well as car stereos, multimedia units and audio units. Below you will find prices, the most common faults and information on how to deliver your equipment.

Most common audio equipment faults
Below are the faults people contact us about most often. The causes are given as general information; only diagnostics can determine the exact one.
Amplifier does not turn on
Most often it is a blown fuse, a faulty power supply unit or dried-out capacitors. Sometimes a short circuit at the speaker output is to blame.
What you can check yourself: Check that the socket and the power cable are working. If the fuse blows repeatedly, do not keep replacing it – this indicates a deeper fault.
We check the power circuit, replace faulty components and test the equipment under load.
„Protect” or „alarm” error is displayed
The protection system shuts down the amplifier due to overheating, a short circuit, DC voltage at the speaker output, or a faulty power stage.
What you can check yourself: Turn off the equipment, disconnect the speakers and switch it on again. If the error disappears, check the speaker cables for a short circuit.
We find which channel or component triggers the protection and replace it.
It plays, but there is no sound or one channel does not work
A faulty power transistor, a damaged speaker relay contact, a worn connector or a passive fault in the speaker itself.
What you can check yourself: Swap the left and right speaker cables. If the sound disappears on the other side, the speakers or cables are at fault, not the amplifier.
We diagnose the channel, replace the faulty components and check the sound quality.
Crackling, squealing or unwanted noises
Dirty controls, poor contact in the sockets, dried-out capacitors or poor grounding.
What you can check yourself: Check whether the crackling persists with a different source and different cables. If the noise depends on the source, the problem is not in the amplifier.
We clean the contacts, resolder poor connections and replace worn parts.
Overheats or smells of burning
Excessive load, blocked ventilation, faulty power components or a short circuit inside.
What you can check yourself: Disconnect it from the mains immediately and do not switch it on again. Do not try to open the casing.
We open the casing, find the overheated or burnt parts and replace them.
Does not read CD/DVD, disc is stuck or tray does not open
A worn laser pickup assembly, a faulty tray motor or a worn belt drive.
What you can check yourself: Try another, undamaged disc. Do not force the tray open, as you could break the mechanism.
We clean or replace the laser assembly and repair the tray mechanics.
Wireless speaker does not charge or does not play
A worn battery, a faulty charging socket or a damaged control board.
What you can check yourself: Try a different cable and charger, and check that the socket is not clogged with dust.
We replace the socket or battery, or repair the board, depending on the fault.
Car stereo does not turn on, loses radio or drains the battery
Broken connection contacts, a faulty power circuit component, a unit that does not go to sleep or a damaged display.
What you can check yourself: Check the fuse in the car’s fuse box. If the stereo asks for a code, do not guess it – too many wrong attempts can lock the system.
We diagnose the unit, repair the contacts or board and, when needed, perform the code retrieval.
What audio equipment we repair
In home audio, we repair amplifiers, music centers, receivers, home theater systems, stereo sets, DVD players and portable wireless speakers. Prices here start from €20.
Car audio equipment – car stereos, multimedia systems, audio units, car amplifiers and navigation units. Repairs in this group start from €25.
- Home audio equipment: amplifiers, music centers, receivers, home theater, stereo sets, DVD players, wireless speakers
- Car equipment: car stereos, multimedia systems, audio units, amplifiers, navigation units
If it is unclear whether the fault is in the equipment, the speakers or the cables, bring the whole set – this is figured out faster during diagnostics.
What brands of equipment we repair
We repair equipment from various manufacturers, including Yamaha, Pioneer, Technics, Marantz, Denon, Onkyo, Harman Kardon, Bose, JBL, Sony, Philips, Panasonic, JVC, Kenwood, Blaupunkt, Becker, Marshall, Magnat and others. We accept both new equipment and equipment that has been working for several decades, including old amplifiers that have been kept in the family.
The availability of parts depends on the model and age. We tell you about this after diagnostics, once it is clear what is needed.
Why amplifiers fail and how to avoid it
Amplifier faults are most often caused by overheating, a short circuit at the speaker output, excessive load or moisture. Blocked ventilation, a closed cabinet or heatsinks clogged with dust quickly shorten the lifespan of the electronics.
The protection system („protect”) switches the amplifier off to prevent more serious damage. If the error keeps recurring, it is worth identifying the cause rather than simply trying to switch it on again. You can find more about how amplifiers work in the article How audio amplifiers work.
- Leave free space around the amplifier so that heat can dissipate
- Switch off the equipment before changing cables or speakers
- Do not connect speakers with an impedance lower than that specified for the amplifier
- Protect the equipment from liquids and moisture
If you notice a burning smell or hear crackling, unplug the device from the socket immediately and do not try to switch it on again.
Car audio equipment
Faults in car stereos and multimedia systems differ from those in home equipment: common problems include broken connector contacts, a screen that flickers or is hard to slide in, radio sound that cuts out, or a unit that does not go to sleep and drains the battery. Some systems ask for a code after the battery has been disconnected – in that case, decoding is required.
If your car’s navigation has also failed, see the section on updating navigation maps. You can read about the structure of car audio systems in the article Car audio system technology.
Insurance report
If your home property is insured, we can issue a fault assessment report for the insurance company. A report for home audio equipment costs €30, and for car audio equipment it is also €30. Whether the insurance applies and what portion of the costs it covers is determined by the insurance company according to the terms of your contract.
Before you come, check your insurance terms so that you know which documents you may need.
