PB1500 no diag. lights - Power - OK

I have a PB1500, now owned for about 6 months.. today i noticed the power LED was off on the remote and thus no sound.. i figured it was just a fuse.. No diagnostic lights are on (power/protect) but i know it has power cause the blue LEDs on the side light up.. any suggestions??

P.S. Both my fuses check out as good.. i am lost

    yea after posting i uninstalled, the sub and tested the amp in my office with a 12 power supply.. worked fine so i double checked the lines in my car and suddenly, i only got 1 volt from the main 4 gauge line.. hmm, all fuses looked good but further testing revealed the fuse under the hood as the culprit of all my un-neccesary work..

    Thanks for the help!!

Check if the terminals are well connected and also check the sub the pyramid can't handle 2 ohm bridged it must be 4 ohms by the way i but the 2600watts and its not even close that power...

I don't know how you checked the fuses but if you didn't use an ohm meter, you need to confirm that you have B+ and remote at the amplifier.

With your multimeter set to DC volts, the black meter lead on the ground terminal of the amp and the head unit on (so the amp will have remote voltage applied), touch the red lead alternately to the B+ and remote terminals of the amp. If the voltage is below ~11 volts, you need to check the wiring feeding whichever line is too low.

If the voltage is sufficient at the remote and B+ terminals, the switching power supply has probably failed in the amplifier.

I have a samsung notebook R580, it worked fine lastnight, will not turn on today no lights come on it is plugged in to a working plug in, any ideas

The problem could be the ON/OFF button but check the power adapter first.
When you connect the power adapter into the laptop, does the power LED light up? If not then - The battery adapter or the adapter's power lead or the laptop's power socket could be faulty. Check power adapter's DC plug that connects into the laptop power socket with a multi-meter, the voltage should be slightly higher than the voltage that is printed on the label on the bottom of the adapter. If the voltage is zero or way below the voltage that is printed on the label then the power adapter is faulty and needs to be replaced. If the adapter is OK then connect it to the laptop and power it up, then look at the power/battery charging LED light and wriggle the power plug in the laptop's power socket. If the power/battery LED light flashes and in a certain position this LED light stays firm, then the power socket is either faulty or it has a dry solder joint where it is connected to the motherboard. This can be repaired but it requires the laptop to be completely dismantled to get at this power socket and repair. If you cannot DIY then I suggest you get a quote first.

How to set for todhiba tv

Hello
The codes for Toshiba TV with Innovage jumbo universal remote control are:
013,049,089,105,
Proceedings

1. Turn on the device that you want to set.

2. Look for the brand name under the specific device listing provided.

(Note: You will notice that some brands will have more than one 3-digit code. During the

code input process, you may have to try more than one 3-digit code that will match your

device brand and model.)

3. Aim the remote control at the device and press down and hold CODE SEARCH button for

at least 3 seconds until the red LED lights up solid red.

4. Press the device button for the item you wish to program, e.g. TV, DVD, VCR, etc. and the

LED light will blink once and then remain solid red.

5. Using the number keys, enter the 1 st set of 3-digit codes from the list. You will notice

that each number that you press, the LED will blink once. After you have entered the

3rd digit, the red LED will turn off indicating that the code was recognized for the device.

(NOTE: If the code entered was not compatible, the red LED will flash several times.

You will then need to repeat Step 3. You have 30 seconds to enter a code.)

6. After the red LED light has turned off. Press the ON/OFF key. If the device you are trying

to program powers off, then you have found the correct code. If the device does not

power off, then you will need to repeat the process again from Step 3, using another

3-digit code.
7. Make a note of the 3-digit code for future use.
OK.
