  • Got home from a week away to find Logitech z906 speakers completely dead. Bit of googling and some disassembly later and it looks like a pretty common problem - burned out resistors on the mains side of things. This is a set that were replaced within warranty after the first ones I bought failed.

    Tried three mobile phone/laptop/pc repair places locally but unsurprisingly none of them wanted to touch it. Bit pissed off that what looks like a relatively simple repair (provided it hasn't caused further damage) might mean binning an otherwise functional system.

    Also a bit annoying that the only apparent replacement is yet another Logitech z906. Would be no point even unboxing anything other than the subwoofer.

  • I can send you an old one where I knocked off a tiny component - you may be able to just swap out that side of it.

    Remind me next week when I'm back home, and I'll check.

  • Thanks for the offer, much appreciated. Gonna try the place aggi (thanks also) suggested and see if they reckon a repair is possible.

    Saw one post on reddit saying the black stuff covering everything degrades over time and becomes conductive, which I guess explains why it's a common issue.
