I have a Cambridge Audio Azur 340a that has just died.

For a long time now, I would sometimes have to cycle power because one channel wouldn't start or would be faint or distorted. Sometimes it would be like that from power on, sometimes within a few mins. Once it was warmed up it was fine indefinitely.

Today it started cutting out entirely for a second, both channels, and I'd hear the relay click. After doing this a few times over the course of an album, it cut out and never came back 😭

Could it be as simple as needing a new relay? I want some plan before opening it up.

I'm not an EE. I have some very basic electronics experience messing with arduinos etc, can hold a soldering iron and swap components out.

Edit: ok it's working again next day, so intermittent.

As per title. I followed the instructions re. Excluding from battery saving etc.

Yes I know I made a mistake. I checked all my files appeared to be present on local drive, then deleted my Dropbox account and uninstalled Dropbox. A whole load of stuff promptly disappeared. I now realise I had a load of folders set to online-only and forgot I had done that, years ago. I didn't realise that the files I was seeing were stubs only. I had no idea they showed as the full file size, yet aren't. (Why does it do that?? It's very confusing. Git LFS doesn't do that). Is there any chance Dropbox can undelete my account?
