Hey guys...
I've had my Logitech Z-560 speakers for over a year now (thanks to a great Hot Deal last January) and I've had them running beautifully since then. But last Saturday I left some music playing when I went out for the night, and when I came back they were off. I thought nothing of this and went to bed. I woke up and tried to turn some music on, but the speakers wouldn't power on. I tried everything I could, checked every connection, to no avail.
Like most computer speakers I've owned, the Z-560s work by having the subwoofer plug into the wall power outlet, and having all of the speakers and control unit plug into the subwoofer. I examined the subwoofer and found a fuse hatch. I checked to see if the fuse was blown, and sure enough, it was. I went to Radioshack to get a replacement fuse but they didn't have the kind I needed. Yesterday I tracked down the kind I needed at a local electronics store and prayed that replacing the fuse would fix my problem. It didn't. I replaced the fuse, plugged the sub in and *BANG*, blew a new fuse. Tried again, *BANG*, same thing. I figure there must be a short or something similar in the subwoofer unit.
My question is, what should I do now? I don't think the speakers are under warranty anymore, and I really don't want to buy a new set because I'm pretty darned sure the only thing wrong is with the subwoofer unit. Is there someplace I can have them fixed? Would calling Logitech be a good idea? I've never dealt with a company on an out-of-warranty product, but I'd like to hope that they'd be helpful. Anyone have any experience with something like this? I don't run my speakers extremely loud so I don't think I was running them at a dangerous level.
Thanks for any advice. Back to my (ICK) headphones
