sonos gen 2 sub repair

I am trying to repair a generation 2 sub. I have narrowed the problem down to the secondary power supplies. R37 has been burned out, there were posts that said R37 is a 18 ohm resistor however the marking on posted pictures show a smt resistor marked 18d. This is not a 180 Ohm resistor.  Has anyone successfully repaired a sub 2 with the problem being the secondary logic voltages ? I believe I have identified Q16 and D6?  marked as Y2 and 2F.  Any help would be appreciated, as there is very little info on the web. Thanks,  Carl

Thank you for that information. Later today I will reassemble the sub and hopefully it will turn on and not "fire up "

I found Q16 to be a 2n2907

UGHHHH…..Majic smoke again.  Took out R37, R77 and Q10.  Now measuring a short both ways on D15, Google search for B280 shows up as a shotkey diode. Im confused as to D15 being a zener or not.

Can I stick a 1N4007 in place of the B280 for a test to see if it will power up at all ?

I think you need to change D15, Q10, R37 and R77 before power on the sub.

Thank you.

I did replace all those components that you suggested. I also replaced Q16 and D15 with a 2A 100v  diode (not a schotkey.)

It has now powered up and I did a factory reset which was successful. I think I've fixed it but will not know for sure till I can get the sub back to the rest of the system

Thank you so much  for your help and the help from the rest of the Sonos community. I will update the forum after I've confirmed its fully functional.
