#91587 - 10/22/12 06:09 PM LFM-1 Compact blowing fuses. What to do?
Jasen Deputy Gunslinger Registered: 12/31/07 Posts: 2 Loc: Virginia	The other day we went to watch a movie and I noticed the bass was lacking. I went over to our LFM-1 Compact and noticed all the lights were off. Popped out the fuse. Blown. I bought a couple more 2A 250V fuses. They had 3A or 2A, not 2.5A as the unit came with. Put the first one in and turned the unit on. Nothing. Pulled the fuse. Blown. Being dumb I put the second one in. Blown. What's my next step? Should I try 3A fuses? Should I hunt down 2.5A ones? Time for more serious measures? - Jasen.

You could take the sub apart and look for obvious issues with the amp such as a wire touching a metal part which is grounded. _________________________ Music system Model 990/7500/Magnepan 1.6 QRs/Technics SL1200 MK2/Aperion S-12 Subwoofer/OWA3/Sony NS75H DVD APC H15 Power Conditioner TV System Large Advent Loudspeakers/ Polk center/Monoprice surrounds/Panasonic Viera 42 inch/Onkyo HT-RC260/Sony BDP S590/Directv Home Theater System Onkyo PR-SC886/Outlaw 7125 Klipsch RF-82 L/R,RC-62 center, RB-35 SR/SL, BENQ HT1075, Outlaw LFM1-EX/OPPO BDP-83/Directv Harmony ONE Blue Jeans and Monoprice interconnects APC H15 Power Conditioner

It seems to be glued AND tighten with screws. Any tips of taking it apart will be appreciated. I think mine is already past warranty period. Shipping it back for repair will not be cheap. Thanks Frank

You can always remove the woofer and push the amp out from the inside. Unless you have a loose speaker wire connection, you'll probably need to send the amplifier back for some TLC since there really aren't any user serviceable parts. But we'll be sure get you up and running at a very reasonable cost (should you be out of warranty).
