Time to fix things today..
After the every 2-year PG&E wire fix, time to attempt to waranty or fix things that were zapped. I got a return authorization for the motherboard, that'll take 2 weeks to come back.
As for my Paradigm 400$ 12-inch sub, i called around to see if they service such items. One in SF said no, since i didn't buy from them, they ain't gonna help. Second in SF said we can send it out back to Canada but you'll hafta pay. Third in Menlo Park tells me that if i send it to him he'll check if it's just a blown fuse and go from there. Fuse? Yep theres a fuse in its motherboard that controls the subwoofer. I ask how hard is it to do, he says it's not hard if your not afraid of circuitry and wiring.
So This is whats inside a $$ Subwoofer. Fuse is hidden to the right of the board.
So out comes the screwdriver. Looking simple, popped out the fuse, went to home depot, found the bussman 2Amp 250Volt replacement fuses for $2.87. Pop the fuse in, screw back the screws, turn on the HK, bump some tunes, lo n behold light turns on. One fixed item fixed.
One last thing, Want some Super High end HDMI Wires for super cheap? $224,540 3-Meter HDMI wire for $5.79, Deal of the Century!
