Along same lines as "my 2.1 BT THX system quit" - I actually have 2 of these systems - 1 for my PC and 1 for Zwift - not sure but had for a number of years now. Love the sound! But moved to new place in Sept and found that BOTH now produce an odd occasional popping loud noise plus subwoofer hum. Switched satellites, control pods, subs and plugged into other outlets but still these noises.
Only used for very moderate Youtubes and some music plus Zwift...
Contacted Klipsch via chat few weeks ago and they suggested plugging headphones into control pod to listen for the pops but couldn't tell.
Emailed cust service again about a week ago but NO response....so now what??? Donate to Goodwill???
Been a Klipsch fan for years now but very sad their cust serv has disappeared...
I also have a similar setup with 2 Pro Medial 2.1 speaker systems. Loved them when they worked.
Now I lost subwoofer on 1 system and channel amp on another.
I have electronics repair background and could do component level repair. However these days it is cheaper and faster to just replace the board. Besides, I no longer have access to an O-scope. Was hoping to find replacement, updated, circuit boards for replacement. Possible? Anyone ever do this?
Found some web pages that go over repairing the board where the power resistors have deteriorated the solder joints. I will start there with upgraded power resistors. Will try to update this thread with my accomplishments.
