My HK AVR630 is constantly shutting down. I know it is not from over heating since I added an external fan to it to avoid this. Plus, after turning the receiver on when it is ice cold, it shuts down after around 20 seconds. This has been going on for the last day. I can't keep the receiver on without it shutting down.
Anyone have any ideas what else to look for? Loose wire maybe?

A loose or frayed wire would be first on my list to look for.Did anything get moved around ?

Nothing was moved, but I do have a ferret that goes behind the tv and shuffles through the wires. I've been betting he screwed something up. I'm still trying to figure out how to keep him from going behind the tv.

Well that's a unique problem.Those critters can get into some pretty small places.I think I'de be watching the ports on the M80s and sub.That would be an awful expensive play ground for a ferret.

Unique is right. I've had ferrets in the past that chewed on cords and I did have one that like to climb in the sub ports of some older speakers I had for years. Fortunately my lastest one doesn't have any of those bad habits. He's pretty good, but he does move the wires around when he goes behind the tv. This problem will be fixed by tomorrow.

Let me guess. The Darla Tap scene at +10 dB ? Frisky the Flying Ferret...
It does sound like a strand short...

Yep - classic case of a short somewhere.
If you can't control your ferret - PLEASE, PLEASE mark your gorilla ports.
Should bigjohn ever visit - it could present a problem. Aside from being a known "cone toucher", he has been known to insert assorted body parts (don't ask) into the gorilla ports. It would be unfortunate for him to encounter the toothy end of a ferret cornered in the speaker.

I've never experienced receiver shutdown, ever. I've had a bad cold and the flu many times, but never, ever, receiver shutdown. If It ever happened, I would probably suspect a broken receiver. Of course, I guessed I've never gotten my wires crossed.

Ray, this might be the solution to "wean" bigjohn from his extracurricular activities.
