magnu55 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Hi everyone, I think my IFI blew its fuse. I connected my ipod, was playing fine. I turned the sub levels to max and the lights on the dock flickered and went dead. I tried to power the system on to no avail after that. My question is, where is the fuse? I can't seem to find it! And secondly, what fuse should I buy to replace it? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 its internal and you need a 2 amp fuse I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnu55 Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 Hi Jay, do you mean I would have to remove the back plate of the subwoofer by removing all the screws? This seems a rather dangerous and invasive procedure! Any precautions I should take note of? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 leave unplugged for a atleast a few hours and just remove the outer screws as the middle ones hold the amp onto the plate. Let me try and find some pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay481985 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Sorry look where my middle finger is. Goto radioshack with that fuse and they should be able to get the value off it. If I remember right, correct me if I am wrong guys but it is 250 volt, 2 amp slow burn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnu55 Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 Thanks a lot Jay! I'll give it a shot when i get home tonight! Thanks for the pic too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnu55 Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 So I finally opened up my sub to dig out the fuse and it looks like the fuse wasn't blown! Does anyone have any idea why my system has no power at all? The control pod does not have the green "power on" LED. Help please!!! Mine was a refurbished unit with expired warranty!

Jay481985 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 check the yellow thing on the right of the fuse and smell it if it has a burnt smell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnu55 Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 I checked the yellow box and it looks and smells fine... any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 push the cord all the way in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnu55 Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 so i finally bought a new fuse and insered into the slot in the sub and no go! My ifi still won't power up. Can anything else on the sub blow? What else can i check to replace? I'm pretty sure something blew when i turned the sub levels up because the light on the control pod flickered and went out. And now it's dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 maybe there is a subwoofer fuse or a metal oxidation resitor somewhere? note the same yellow thing on the top of my pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry1 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Examine all the capacitors and make sure one of them hasn't burst. Burst capacitors will leak electrolyte which you should be able to see easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnu55 Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 I'm currently away from home on a business trip in Roseville, CA. I'll check on the sub when i get home in 2 weeks time. On a related note, I'm wondering if I should get a new one. Anyone knows if the Bay area has iFi's for sale? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
