Re: Creative Gigaworks S750

I'll check and replace the parts.

Thanks everyone for helping....

Re: Creative Gigaworks S750

No smoke/ nothing burnt around that area. I've tested with a multimeter that the capacitor connections are still intact. I guess there isn't any glue.

But I noticed that this cap only has 1 leg, Would there be anything amiss here?...

Re: Creative Gigaworks S750

i'll try to scrape it off.

there is a capacitor near the blue resistor that is damn lose, is it normal?...

Re: Creative Gigaworks S750

Hi, apologies for digging up an old thread.

My friend gave me a Creative S750.When I plug in the power cable and turn on the power, there's a loud popping noise. The control pod isn't working and the subwoofer doesn't have any power light.
Its somewhat same like what TS has encountered but mine doesn't seem to have any blown caps/chips.

There are white sparks coming from this area :

I dismantled the power board and took some photos of it.
