Kevin N Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 This is probably a shot in the dark, but could bad caps cause this problem? I can visually see the 25v cap and one of the 35v cap’s tops are bulging. The speakers “pop” when powered on, but only the right satellite produces sound..but not real loud (tried aux cable in BOTH of the 3.5mm inputs, to no avail). I also noticed all of the leds on the dock were somewhat pulsing, as the unit was trying to produce sound. I REALLY enjoy these speakers and would love to be able to repair them. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Yes that bulging top of cap not a good sign. You would want to know what caused it besides. Welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin N Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 Thanks for responding, billybob. Would that prevent channels from operating? I’m not certain the role those caps play in the circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Even if not under warranty, would call Klipsch support and see what they have to say. After checking wires, and not under warranty, could give us a couple of pics of the inside. Unplug unit from power first and do not touch capacitors. Maybe someone here will have a clue. See them occasionally on ebay also. Please disregard video... thanks! @Kevin N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
