Can Logitech Z5500 sub be repaired

[Flanno]

I recently retired my Z5500's. Just out of warranty but immaculate. My mate has reported the sub is dead...no hum from it, nothing from speakers. Control pod working though. Went around to house this afternoon and then the pod died. Replaced the fuse (which I tested with a multimeter and was dead) with a 2.5amp slow blow (I hear the 2amps can blow easily at peak power) and the control pod is working again. However no hum from sub, no noise from any speakers when I run the pink sound test.

Is this a case of the amp suddenly carking it ? I wonder would a good electrical engineer be able to open such a thing and determine the fault ?

I know why it's 2 amp. 2.5amp gives slightly more leeway is all. Warranty is up for me so no point in contacting logitech. Friend will open sub/amp this weekend and take a look. Hopefully something easy to fix. Hardly blowing the fuse constantly if control pod working. Just hope the sub/amp is easy to fix as I haven't heard of anyone opening these up

Chickened out on repair after guy told me he would likely find cause but may not be able to fix.

Don't think it's too long out of warranty. I never registered it. Still I sent logitech a webnote with my s/n, part no. etc.. Hopefully they ship me a new one and collect the one. Worth a shot. Would hate to have to find a box/packing etc.. and ship this myself. At the end of the day I am replacing them anyway with Z10's as I want something compact. It's just I had someone lined up to buy the 5500's, effectively paying for my Z10's. Now that's on hold obviously.
