Just got my new system today and having major hassles with the Logitech 5.1 system. I remember you said you have the same model... have you ever had problems with blowing fuses or power issues?
When I set it up this afternoon I turned it on and it had no power. I farted around with everything for a while convinced I had done something wrong before driving to Aus PC Market so they could take a look. When I got there they plugged it in and confirmed it was dead and went and got a new one. I watched as the guy plugged it in and it worked, the console unit powered up and all looked well. Finally got it home this evening after battling peak hour traffic. Before I went through the pain in ass process of routing all the fucking speaker wires (again) I plugged it in the power point, no problem it had power. I then checked it in the expensive protected powerboard I bought with the PC. Again no problems it had power. Sweet I thought and I spent the next 15 minutes routing all the speaker wires. Of course I had switched it off while I made all the connections. I then switched it on once I had connected all the speakers... AND FUCK ME DEAD NO POWER AGAIN!! ARGHHHHHHHH!
I think it is blowing it's fuse, but I'm not sure. I did some quick googling and did find a few people that have had the fuses periodically blow on them, some suggest just putting new fuses in... which is an option, but so far I must have blown two and the speakers haven't played a note yet. Ughhh... I wonder if it just doesn't like the surge protected powerboard for some reason.
