Hello,

I would like some help in fixing a thermal problem with a Adcom GFA-5400.

Does anyone know a part number or Digikey # for the thermal switch between heatsink and PCB?
Any advice on ordering from Adcom?

Any advice on repairing this? It looks like a complete disassembly.

I have ordered the service manual off www.stereomanuals.com
Does this have part #'s?

The left channel will not play. The left thermal protection LED is on. The Thermal switch is open.

Thanks, Blair Sutton
