Amiga 600 (REV1.5) badly Distorted Clipped Saturated audio Repair
This Amiga 600 has suffered several months ago serious problems of the leakages capacitors.
The amiga has worked for a period and then the sound has stopped to working with the classic distorted/clipped audio defect.
I have replaced the usual LF374 SMD with a TL084C 100% compatible and everything has started to work perfectly.

Damn! the case Housing of the Power Supply is glued and is not a nice thing.
Defect:
Replaced components:
- 1 x IC CA723CE (Precision Voltage Regulators)
Analysis of the defect:
- Tested the cable.
- Tested the transistor TIP41C soldered on the PCB.
- Unsoldered the transistor TIP41C and i have again tested to make sure 100% that is not died, the transistor was not in short circuit or interrupted.
- With the transistor TIP41C unsoldered i have tested the output of the IC CA723CE PIN 10 VOUT which appeared to 0V instead of +5v while the input voltage (unregulated) PIN 12 measured +17v and VREF 6 PIN was correct.
