- Thread starter Psypher5
- Start date
the amp broke in my first set, told logitech who shipped another, which has now broken. (same thing as other one, wont turn on etc.)
I know its only the amp thats gone, it cant logically be anything else, so whip the subs out and hook it up to a new amp
Wont have a car till summer or so though

well i bought my old set to my mates house, we tinkered about and decided the fuse had blown (slow blow they had sent a replacement for, as we tested this on a small seperate circuit me made)
so, we cut a floppy disk strip of metal up, made it circular, wedged it in, and guess what. Works perfectly
I cant get a refund from the etailer as its been nearly 2 years, i spose. Its up to logitech now :c

yup, i know its not ideal, or really safe, but we were very nervous to turn it on at first incase it blew my mates house oout 
but yeah, basically im just bypassing the slowblow fuse,(with a piece of metal instead of a fuse) and letting the fuse in the plug do the work. So if it draws more than 3amps itll cut off anyhoo.
so either it, or my room is blowing the slowblow fuse instantly/very quickly.

email from the website
they ask the normal stuff (is it plugged in etc)
they ask for serial and send a fuse
they send out replacement set
then they send a fuse again
then they ask for both sets back and offer a refund. So i fixed them myself.

they told me to send the power cable back...
and said theyd send a courier to pick the sets up, so it would cost me nothing.
But hey,
I kept them, one subs ontop of the other. Waiting till i get a car and sticking it in that, or might make a custom box and stuck both subs in for the pc
if your sending yours back, a couple of emails and they will send a fuse, it wont work, will it. So they send a new set. No questions asked and quicker than you can shake a stick at (mine was next day delivery)

smsmasters said:So basically, they sent you a completely new set of speakers/sub for free and didn't even take back or send your old set? :O
I might try this.
I cant rmemeber, ill look through my emails later/tomorrow though
Got it:
You have asked for the following for an RMA.
- The M/N: of the product (Model Number)
- The S/N or PID number: of the product (Serial Number)
- The P/N: of the product (Part Number)
- Your Full Postal Address with area zip code & Daytime Telephone Number
- Dealer Name, Address & Telephone Number
- Receipt / Invoice Number
- Purchase Date
they then ask for you to send cables/remote/wire/pod wire to somewhere. switzerllland. But even this allows you to use the speakers for something else, say a car, or whatever.
The next day i got this:
Thank you for contacting Logitech's Electronic Technical Support.
I thank you for getting back to me with the information. I would like to inform you that I am shipping you a new Logitech Z-5500 Speaker System as a replacement for your existing device, free of cost.
I got them the next day, when they said it would take atleast 5 days. Very good service.

you know the slowblow fuse at the back fo the sub?
Take it out, and note its smaller than a normal fuse.
Me and my mate tested the fuse on a temp made curcuit, and it was dead.
put a replacement from logitech in and again, it came out dead.
So, we got a floppy disk, cut the metal slidey bit off, rolled it to the same size as the fuse and cut to the same length. Then wedged it in, paniced about if it would blow the house up and then another mate clicked the on switch and prodigy came blarring out at full whack.
Worked perfectly ever since.
Althought, be carefull. Im not responsible if you or I die.
