Hammer a flat blade screwdriver 'gently' into one end and virtually break the unit open. I dont think there is another way really. I will have to reglue/tape-up the casing though. messagebearer said: Hey, I know this is an old thread, but once you got your unit open do you still think it could not be opened without busting it? Edited March 4 by messagebearer I used a utility knife (drywall razor) to repeatedly score all around the seam to open the Power supply. To put it back together, after repair, I used e-tape around the perimeter. Many thanks to drueppel from 2015. Replacing the capacitor worked. I replaced with the same size as was on the original board. The Klipsch unit was purchased around 2000. I used DigiKey for supply of the needed, 100 uf 25V capacitor..... 0.75 cents. Also purchased a solder sucker for ~$8. The deciding factors were DigiKey had the correct specifications (many other suppliers were out of stock) delivered quickly and didn't require a minimum quantity or minimum $$ purchase. Two days latter, the groove is back in use and not in the landfill. Thanks again d.
