So I recently just noticed that my channel 2 has a weird gain issue, I am guessing it is a blown preamp. With the gain any further than 9 o'clock, the signal light comes on regardless of input, and there is a sound like ocean waves with the slider turned up. It will record, but with static as described in the back ground. I have scoured through the posts around, and seems that I have an issue with the mic pream being blown, hopefully just the diode to protect it.
Could someone point me in the way of the specifics on the parts to repair it and schematics or repair manual even?? I had spoken to the folks at tascam, but I hardly think I should be sending the unit to California to "run diagnostics" and for repair when I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. Any help would be amazing. I really like the unit for what I do but don't think its worth paying to have it shipped to california only to be charged an arm and a leg to have it repaired when I could do it on my own.
