Sorry to up so old thread but..

I've been into the blown fuse problem trying to fix for some bros here.

I strongly suggest that it's a heng and suay issue if you send your speakers to SLS and fix it.
You might get it back the same subwoofer on the exterior. But you'll never know what they did inside. I've gotton one bro's subwoofer back from Si*** as it's in si**a for quite a few months, when i was about to fix it, i found out that the screws were out. Differnet lengths, some screws were missing.

Nevermind, i opened up and check inside. More horrifying is the power board is missing! I guess they are doing some swapping of power board to get one or two lucky subs to be working and return back to customer. So those who actually left the subwoofer in the shop for months, i guess GG liao. Your parts inside are scattered all over other subwoofers.

Just some information for bros here.

hmm.. the uncle so screwed meh? i put my s750 like a year liao. lol. lazy to get back from him. lOl.
btw my another s750 just blow again.. ****s.. i think i going back there to see what he can do.

I guess this is a long shot, but anyone still have an inking of which electronics shop still do repairs for the Megaworks 550 subwoofer?

Tried calling Sigma AV earlier but they have long stopped doing the repairs due to lack of spare parts.

There was an explosive sound when I switched on the mains earlier for my speakers, they can still be turned on (LED turns on) but the sound is very tiny and very muffled from the satellites. Subwoofer seemed dead.

Opened up the set and noted most components look roughly intact except that one of the linear voltage regulators had the guts exposed, as circled in red below.

Probably amp or power area dead.
Rather get a new speaker.
