My Z5500's just died, got some questions

Was listening to music on headphones connected to z5500's, at max volume, when it just turned off. Now, I can't get any power to the receiver station thing. I read a bit, saying it is most likely the fuse in the subwoofer, so I took that out and inspected it, it looks fine to me, no cuts in the metal wire - but I'll buy a new one tomorrow to troubleshoot. I also tried reattaching cables and cycling the power on the woofer, no dice.

I'm thinking there's a good chance its not the fuse and I'm borderline fucked here. These were a gift from my parents last christmas, so its been about 1 year since they were purchased - does anyone know about the warranty on these? Anyone have experience with these things dying?

Also, when I go to buy a fuse tomorrow, how hard is it going to be to buy a "slow blow" fuse? Is this some real proprietary crap, or something I can find easily at a hardware store?

Now I can't play any games, gdammit.
 
I bought two 250v 4A slow blow fuses, installed one, problem solved. I'm hoping they aren't gonna break more rapidly now that the floodgates have been opened, I don't really know how it works.
 
Update: First new fuse lasted about 3 hours, then it died again. Put in another new fuse, nothing. Took it back to bestbuy, 1st rep basically told me my warrenty wasn't what I thought it was (PRP vs PSP, I'm not gonna start on that) and so I had to mail it in, wait a month and get a gift certificate in exchange. Took it back again with stepdad who bought it (christmas gift) and who explained that he had gotten the better warrenty as the product was open box and it was on the receipt. So they said they'd fix it and in 2-3 weeks (max 60 days) I'd get my repaired one. I wasn't too happy, but then this cool chick came outta nowhere and said they'd just exchange it, gave me their last new boxed set of speakers, and I was on my way. They sound great, and the lcd screen on em is brighter than the last.

And to top it all off I forgot to bring back the remote so now I got two, and they both work. Sick.

Buy a set of Axiom (brand) Audiobyte Computer Speakers. These speakers are so good, that Maximum PC replaced their Klipsch promedia 5.1's with these. They are audiophile grade for your desktop.

Not sure if you read my full post, it was somewhat long. I got new z5500's, the warrenty worked out, and good won vs evil. Not much need for me to buy these axioms.
