Hey all
West wondering if it was easy or possible to replace the hdmi board in an marantz av 7702 or the like. Is it just a swap like a board in a computer? Do I need to do anything updates etc once it's done. Let me know
Thanks in advance for your help.
You can download a
service manual here for $9.95.
These sort if units are not modular like computers, so this probably will not be an easy job. More than likely this will require an initiation regime of some type.
Is there any reason in particular that this board failed that you know of? I would be particularly interested to know if you powered any type of active HDMI cable from one of the HDMI ports. I would not touch the unit without a service manual. Almost certainly there will be crucial information in the service manual.
Lets us know how you get on. As far as I know this is the first report here of an HDMI board failure on a Marantz pre/pro. A bit of history on the unit would satisfy my curiosity. We have had plenty of reports about HDMI board failures in receivers. However they have a much bigger market share. I am curious as I have a Marantz 7705 and two 7701s in use.
