Hey Mr. Clean, I think I ordered the repair DIN from you on eBay a short while ago. I came here a few months back asking about my control pod because I thought it was not working (my speakers showed a red light for standby and wouldn't power up). I opened up the subwoofer, everything looked pristine, I opened up the control pod and there was some glue material on the board, which you said was normal. So I'm assuming that it must be my DIN, so I'm going to replace the current one to see if I can get my speakers resurrected. Someone is selling a new control pod on eBay and I am very tempted to ****** it, but I may see what happens with the DIN repair first.

About how much does Sybesmas charge for repairs. I'm wondering if I should just get new speakers. At the same time I feel as if I can still use these satelittes (that is if I figure out how to integrate them into a new system).

I opened up the subwoofer and I don't see anything burnt or broken, it looks like it's in great condition. I tried firing up the speakers again, perhaps someone may have seen this problem. When I plug the speakers in, the subwoofer, powers up, the control pod is in standby. I can power on the control pod and when you manipulate the volume, you can hear that "turning noise" (not really a hiss, but that hum of speakers that are turned on but no output of sound). When I plug the speakers into my computer and connect the speaker wires, I get nothing out of any of the channels. Is this a familiar problem?

Thanks for the info, I guess it might be the DIN problem, which everyone seems to have. I guess my next step will be opening the subwoofer.

Here are the images as requested:

Sure thing, I was planning on taking a picture when I returned from vacation, but I'm pretty sure they're burnt and it's not glue. I was thinking I could replace the parts, but I wouldn't know where to start looking; they're components that say 47K on each, and I haven't found anything on Google that resembles them. If this can be remedied with a trip to Radio Shack and some soldering on my end, I will be very happy.

I bought the Promedia 4.1 speakers back in 2002 and they were going great until 2008 when the speakers died. When I opened the control pod and inspected the circuit board, there were four capacitors (or resistors, I'm not sure which) that were burnt. My speakers appear to be in perfect working condition, but it appears that the control pod has some defective parts that prevent the system from operating. Is there a way I can get my control pod replaced (repair or buy a new one)?
