Learning the Hard Way...Chasing Issues in an ONKYO HT-R990 AV Receiver

I debated whether to put this video up here. Nobody wants to reveal their "fails". And who wants to watch a video about not fixing something? But in the end I decided, if I learned from the experience, maybe some of you would see the value in that as well. Even though this wasn't a successful "fix", I learned some useful things about surface mount components, troubleshooting, and...maybe most important...perseverance. Hope you can find something useful in this one too.
