Z560's died! How do I replace fuse?

[geno]

Hey I just blew my fuse on my Logitech Z560's, anyone have directions on how to replace the fuse?

You need a 4A slow blow fuse. You can get them at Radio Shack. All you have to do is pull the old one out and snap the new one in...or it might be in one of those screw-on things.

Does anyone know where I can find pics so I don't have to randomly bust the sub open? I have the version with a power switch (I understand some didn't come with this)

Picture......as stated radio shack has them.....take the fuse in with you for a better match...if that doesnt work call logitech give them a sob story and they'll send you new ones 😀

I can't tell in that pic too well, but it looks like that's the sub that doesn't have a power switch... mine has a power switch with the fuse specification written next to it. I tried unscewing the ring around the switch, thinking the switch might pop out and the fuse would be underneath, but it didn't want to budge and I didn't want to break it by pulling too hard.

I found this

On the back of the core component, below the cooling fins, is a master power switch, next to which reads 'Replace only with same size fuse 4A 250v slo-blo'. The master power switch is housed in a threaded casing, secured by a thumbnut. It appears, as it did at the time of purchase, that if one were to remove the thumbnut, the fuse would be exposed for replacement. Nope, took of the nut, switch didn't even budge. Twenty wood screws and some elbow grease later revealed that the fuse is actually in the center of the unit, and that the fuse in not, as stated, a 4A 250v, but in fact a T4AL 250v, which appears very hard to find. Searching Gooogle returns only 4 mentions of this type of fuse.

Hope this helps....somewhat!

Hmm...one last question, maybe maybe someone can answer, does "T4AL" denote that it's a 4A slow blow fuse? Or is "T4AL" a special type of slow blow fuse? I found some 4a 250v slow blow fuses and bought them the other day, hopefully those are what I need.... *crosses fingers really hard*

While researching your first question yesterday, I also found the answer to your second. "T4AL" is just a regular slow blow fuse.
