Ron O. Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I searched and did not find anyone with this issue. After a vacation where all of my equipment was unplugged from the wall, I return to have the LEDs on top and front flicker then stop working. I suspect a power supply issue as previously mentioned in posts, but am not savvy enough to replace it. Two year old unit out of warrant that now completely cuts out at random times using HDMI. Pops a bit with optical cable (that might be the TV settings). And I seek the wisdom of @KevinBif you've heard of this one. Also, I'm super curious - with all of the issues with Bar 48, what influenced you to purchase a Cinema 800???? I love (understatement) the brand also, but it seems that the Soundbar division isn't up to usual Klipsch quality standards.

The public forums are the correct place to ask for help. This way, everyone can benefit from the answers.🙂 I suspect your assessment of the issue is correct. Unfortunately, after two years, it is unlikely you can get a warranty replacement but I would try anyway. If you can't get a replacement your only other option is to take it in to a Klipsch dealer who does repairs or an electronics service depot and see if they can repair it. They may be able to locate a replacement power supply or maybe identify a few capacitors that need to be replaced. In any case, it's likely to cost a lot less than a new soundbar.

Ron O. Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 Thank you for the responses. I'll start doing some searches for authorized repair near San Diego, fingers crossed! Or considering buying refurbished from Klipsch Ebay store. It's offered with a 2 year Allstate warranty which sounds vital given the shared issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MassiveG Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) I had something like that happen with my soundbar once. After a long weekend away, the LEDs started flickering, and the sound got all wonky. I'm not great with tech stuff, so I took it to this local repair shop. They fixed it up without costing me an arm and a leg, and it was way easier than trying to do it myself. Choosing electronics can be a headache, right? I always end up reading a ton of reviews and asking around before I buy anything, especially with brands I like but aren’t always consistent. If you're looking into fixing stuff or just understanding more about electronics, leds.to is a pretty cool site. It helped me get a better grip on what was going on with my soundbar.
