Why my Yamaha Amplifier fails to turn on?
- E
  Emily AndersonAug 18, 2025
  If your Yamaha Amplifier fails to turn on, several factors could be responsible. First, ensure the power cable is securely connected. If that's not the issue, the speaker impedance might be too low; use speakers with the correct impedance. Also, check for short circuits in the speaker wires and correct them before turning the unit back on. Finally, if the unit experienced a strong electric shock, put it in standby mode, disconnect the power for 30 seconds, reconnect, and try again.
