z-licious Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I'm a newbie here. I have Klipsch reference series front, rear and center. I just purchased an RW-10d on Ebay. The box was unopened. Hooked it up to a yamaha 5790 amp - subwoofer LFE output to left side of the RW-10d. The next day - no display - no light - no sound. It will not turn on. Could you guys help? I checked the fuse and it reads OK with an ohm meter. I tried the Y adapter idea and drove it heard - to see if it is in the sleep mode. Still dead! If you put this thing in the sleep or auto turn on mode - which I believe I did playing with the display - will the blue display turn on with the on/off switch? I have electronic knowledge - but don't want to tear into it - if I am just doing something stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Welcome to the forum!!!! Dang, 9 days and no replys. Sounds like a cooked amp, you might call the tech support line and check on repair/replacement. There will not be warranty on it as you're not the original owner.

z-licious Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 Thanks for the reply guys. The seller sold me a brand new subwoofer. The box had never been opened. But - not being an authorized klipsch dealer (he was a liquidator) - I will probably have to fix it myself. I am an Avionics Engineer and been in the business 25 years. Fixing an amp won't be too tough. I am leaving Sat. morning for Puerto Vallarta for Xmas. I decided to leave it for a 2008 project. I opened a claim dispute with Paypal - the seller was willing to give me the money back. I decided to keep it and fix it. The hassle and time frame to get your money back through Paypal wasn't worth it. I went through it once before - it was months before I got paid. Does anyone have a schematic for a RW-10D? That would make this a lot easier to repair. This thing worked for a day. I put it in "auto on" mode and it never came back on the next day? I tried the "Y" connector out of the LFE output. Then I tried hooking up the "high" inputs on the sub. No luck. I just read another thread and they said that Klipsch will repair just the amp. You guys know anything about this? What is the phone number for tech support? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbydz28 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I actually found this post because I had a similar issue with my RW-12d. I checked the fuses, etc. It just seemed like there was no power getting to the subwoofer. I unplugged everything (power, input cable), turned off the receiver, disabled the subwoofer in the receiver setup, plugged everything back in and it somehow worked again. I was ready to call the dealer right before that happened. I'm sure you have already tried this but I just thought I would share.

z-licious Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 I tried that - hoping it would come back on. Nothing - it is still dead. I even tried hooking to the "High" inputs the 2nd time and nothing. I will probably pull the back of today and hunt around with an meter and see if anything is blown. I hate to do that but I have no other choice. If it is just a part or 2 it will make the $280 investment worth while. That is still cheaper than retail. Thanks for all of the response. I will probably be back on here when I find the answer. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmoventura Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I suppose z-licious never found the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
