Hi guys, a few months ago my I was playing some music on my desktop with my s700, when it suddenly shut off.. The power led on the back of the sub only pulsates now when i try to power it on. It's no longer under warranty, unfortunately. Perhaps someone could help me in diagnosing this problem.. thanks..

It sounds like your amp is going into protection. I know it's frustrating, but this is actually a good thing. If you subs you have are drawing too much power and the amp can't keep up, it will shut off instead of melting the board. Usually, the protection mode only last a few seconds. The user normally turns the music down that the protection shuts off and the music plays again. I recommend looking at a larger amp for your subs, if you are going to play them that hard.

9check connections inside sub enclosure(assuming they are in one)mine loosen up after running them hard for months on end.they act the same way yours are.

i had to buy a complete amp and replace the old

look at your lamp carefully to see if you see bubbles in the mirror or anything like that. if so then your power supply/ballast is bad.

Hello my friend,what program are you using and what type of music?
First uninstall all drivers and install the latest one.Second check your CPU activity when you are playing music(from task manager ctrl+alt+del),if its too high its a problem.If you are using different music from .mp3 like .ogg or something "not common" you must install the latest codecs.I'm waiting for your reply.

I assume this is an active sub. The amplifier has most likely failed. You have proved the signal source is not the problem, well almost if you can sucessfully connect the aiwa sub to another amp then we will know for sure. Usually amplifiers fail with an output device short circuit. The hum you here is the power supply direct on the speaker, I would not leave it on for long or speaker damage may ensue.

Try disconnecting both of the amp board power supply cable (the green one from psu to amp board)

Could be try putting your power LED on your HDD LED header on your mainboard and then look at this while booting up and this will tell you if its the LED or the Header on your mainboard

My kicker amp zx1500.1 keep going in protection mode I unhooked the sub speak wires and put the ACR cords back in and it didn't go in protection mode what next

i had the same problem, apperantly creative made an error making the hardware for the subwoofer, and put in an mos-fet with to little resistance, i called creative and gave them the serial number behind the subwoofer and they sent me a new one that hasnt acted up yet.
