Re: Logitech Z506 power supply
I caved. Target online has the Z506 for $50US. The local store price matched, so I bought two.
I am starting to think this set is nearing discontinuation. None of the computer stores around here carry it and say they can't order more. With that and the price drops, the years I spent in electronic/computer retail makes me think they are short lived.
At least I can now play around with the failing set more leisurely.

Re: Logitech Z506 power supply
So if those are bad, would that cause audio to cut out after a few minutes?
Kinda wondering if I should just buy a new power supply board or if the issue is likely elsewhere...Leave a comment:

Re: Logitech Z506 power supply
Ah, good to know. Thank you for your patience. Even though I'm 45, I let my father (electrician by profession) fix all my electronics. Since he passed 4 years ago, I'm learning as I go now.
So I removed the power supply board and don't see any swollen caps, but I did find this brown stuff on these resistors. Is that more glue or should I remove and test them?

Re: Logitech Z506 power supply
I'm assuming these are not in good shape?

Re: Logitech Z506 power supply
Thanks Agent24 for some more direction.
Power is removed from mains. My life is fairly busy lately, so it'll be a couple days before i can take apart the main unit to get some pics and do the test you suggest.
Will post again when I do.Leave a comment:

Re: Logitech Z506 power supply
No luck with headphones. The system presents sound till it seems like something warms up, then cuts out unless the volume is up all the way. Even with headphones connected.
Once it starts cutting out, if I remove power (cord) for five minutes or so, then plug it back in, I'll get sound as normal for a few minutes.
Does this seem like the power supply board?...Leave a comment:

Re: Logitech Z506 power supply
Thanks for the info Agent24.
I have never used the headphone jack on the FR speaker. The wires don't get moved around either.
Do you mean the subwoofer unit PCB or the controlign speaker PCB?Leave a comment:

Re: Logitech Z506 power supply
Hopefully it's OK to tag into this thread, I think my issue is related.
My z506 will present sounds for a few minutes at best. Then nothing. Power light is solid and stable. To get sound back, I must turn the volume dial to max. Oddly, with the volume at max, it never cuts out. However, there is quite a bit of background hum so if I turn down the input volume, that hum is too much.
I have tested different power sources, different audio sources (stereo and surround) and every case exhibits the same problem.
