    Klipsch RSW-12 subwoofer won't power on

    I have a Klipsch RSW-12 subwoofer that will flash the LED red when the power switch is turned on and once in a while will create a pop out of the speaker. It does not blow the fuse so I am assuming this is probably a power supply issue. Does anyone know if there is a service manual and/or schematics available for this unit?

    Yes there is a Monitor Audio schematic, do a Search with the model number and see if it is the same as yours

      Thanks R J,
      I did look at the post for the MA subwoofer but it doesn't look anything like my Klipsch. I also saw a tear down photo of that unit and the circuit boards didn't look like the ones in my Klipsch either. Thanks for you reply.

        There are schematics for the RW-10 and RW-12, I don't know how close they might be. Maybe post some pictures of the boards.
        There is also a RSW-15 available that might be close.

          Thanks R J,
          Are the schematics kept in a specific location on this site? I did a search for RSW-15 as well as RW-10 and RW-12 and I saw some posts about the RW-10 and RW-12 which included a service manual but nothing on the RSW-15

              There are some great videos on Youtube, specially from Supreme Innovations LLC.

                Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                by Tynan Dill
                I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                Assuming...

                Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
                by PantherDave
                Hi all!

                I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

                I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

                Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74 power issue
                by GLISIT
                Hi all,

                TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!


                I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

                A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about...

                Air-conditioning unit power supply failing to power up
                by Gjackson
                Hi all, I managed to narrow down which PCB was causing my Haier AC to throw out an E7 error code (E7 indicates that the indoor unit and outdoor unit cannot communicate). I found that the outdoor unit power board which gives 5v and 15v to the outdoor unit module board fails to fully power up.. The power Led starts to fade in incredibly slowly and the 5v and 15v power buses jump around like crazy and never reach their required voltage. I unplugged the module board from the power board and the power board powered up fine! It had a steady 5v and 15v out and the power LED came on instantly and Bright....

                Definitive technology SC 2000 subwoofer amp's power supply clicking and popping
                by JimBanville
                The sub developed a constant popping every couple seconds from woofer and power LED flickering with nothing but wall AC connected. Connecting an audio cable didn't change anything. It doesn't play but a second or two of audio in between the pops.
                Opened it up and discovered the power supply is making a faint clicking or ticking sound.
                I measured the amp's output to the woofer and it pulses up to 50mv DC to be driver. The pulses coincide with the power supply ticking/clicking.
                I measured the power supply output going to the amp board and it too has this pulsing. Voltage cycles...
