bronco bob Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I am having problems with my promedia V2.1. After rearranging my desk and reconnecting the speakers, I am now having trouble with the left channel. I'm hoping that someone can help diagnose the problem Symptom: With computer off, the left channel started making loud poping noises; kinda like the noise that can be picked up by running your finger under a record player needle. Shortly after, the left channel stopped working. No popping noises; no sound; nothing. I get sound from the right channel and the subwoofer. Tests: 1) Plugged headphones into the headphone jack on the pod; have sound in both channels. 2) verified the DIN connection; all pins are straight, no apparent damage. 3) "wiggle" tested DIN connection; no response from left channel 4) swapped speaker leads; both speakers work off of the right channel. 5) removed the rear plate from subwoofer and checked both fuses; the multi-meter showed continuity across both fuses 6) unplugged the DIN cable from pod and checked continuity of entire cable; using a multimeter, each DIN pin and the outer shield showed continuity and with same reading. 7) a quick inspection of the visible portions of the circuit boards in both the subwoofer and pod showed no signs of burning, burn marks, or oder. Any thoughts if this is a 1) cable issue 2) pod issue or 3) other issue? Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattdaddy Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I had a similar issue and turned out to be a blown channel from the sub connections. I have the older original version and will try and get mine fixed as the new version of the 2.1 are quite lame in every way by comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlab17 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 So is there an easy fix for this then? My speakers had this problem, mysteriously went away and now its back. I fixed it the first time by just squishing the left channel wires into the clips and I guess a connection was made, but now thats not helping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
