Hi all
MY Mackie CR4s, bought sometime in early 2016 has recently been experiencing loss of sound in either speakers when I turn on. By accident, I found that fiddling with the "powered position speaker select" switch at the back causes the sound to come back.. felt like a contact issues as I had to jiggle it a bit before I could get sound in both sides. Also, the back of the speaker was hot to the touch.
Sent it in to the service center, and they told me need to replace the main board as it had burnt out. Will cost me $120 to replace.
Now I'm wondering if leaving the power switch at the back on all the time caused this. I remember reading when I got the speakers that it's OK to leave it on, but can't find the source liao. If that's the case, then it shouldn't have caused the board to burn out? And even if I spend the money to fix, it's probably going to happen again? And at $120 (almost 1/2 the price of new speakers), should I just buy something else?
