same as before, turned off the entire set via the switch on the back of the sub woofer. just come up to turn it on again and nothing. no power the control centre. checked all the fuses and they are fine

original set lasted 9 months
replacements almost 2 months
nice one logitech

think im going to get a refund this time, and buy a decent amp or sub. or both :cool:
 
What, even the small fuse on the subwoofer, near the switch?
I've had that blow a couple of times. Either email Logitech for a replacement or go to a hifi shop and get them to replace it: they cost about £1. Take the old one to ensure you get the correct one.
 
I blew a few fuses in the amp when i first got my set. I then upgraded them to the glass type ones and haven't had one go for 10months now.
 
The fuse seems an awfully common problem with this set. Are you people playing them up near full? It's certainly not something common in most systems. I'm suspecting the power ratings are unachieveable because of an undersized power supply, yet the fuse is a low enough value to prevent overheating of the transformer. If this happens at low volumes as well though then it's a bit worrying :confused:

i could try different fuses, are these glass ones cheap?
also what size fuse is required for inside the amp? mine is white with no writing on it

I spoke to Logitech about mine and they said it was because I was turning the amp on and off at the back of the sub which can sometimes cause a spike therefore killing the fuse. They recommended I changed to a timed delay fuse as they are protected against spiking. Since I did this I've had no problems even when turning the set on and off at the back.

You can pick up a set of 10 of the 2A ones for £2.54 from a well known high street and internet store called m****n I cant post there name as i think they could be classed as a competitor.
 
"slow blow" is more standard for use with high inrush currents. Time delay is a bit excessive and potentially dangerous (though unlikely).
