Klipsch iGroove HG model 1006519 power supply is a PHIHONG PSM36W-201
Can usually be repaired by replacing the small 100 uf 35 volt electrolytic capacitor C4 (next to the top of the large electrolytic capacitor)
See the PSM36W-201.jpg file attached. Observe correct polarity. Negative is toward the more open area on the circuit board.
100uf, 50 volt is okay. $1.50 at Radio Shack. The connector pinout is two ground pins closest to cord. +18 V on left top, -18 V on right top (with cord aimed down) All you need is a small soldering iron, solder sucker, and a bit of solder. Good luck.
I think the C4 is my problem also. However, when I opened up the ps, I could not see "C4" on the circuit board. Can someone use the picture posted above and circle which one it is? I am no techie, but willing to give it a try. It is not working, so why not. Mine is the Bose psm36w-201 which appears to be the same as the Klipsch.
Update: I have found and replaced the C4 with the radio shack capacitor. I now have power to the sounddock and the ipod shows that it is getting power, but I have no sound. Thanks for the posts as at least I have a working ps.
