My Klipsch RPW10 suddenly started blowing fuses the moment the power switch was turned on. I contacted Klipsch and they have sent me a full set of schematics. Can someone lead me through some basic troubleshooting so that I could possibly identify the problem, identify the failed components, and from there I can hunt down the parts that need to be replaced. I have a rudimentary knowledge of electricity, and have repaired everything from VCR's to failed automotive key fobs. Any help and guidance would be very much appreciated. I like challenges and I like to save money.

Hi, I've got a broken RPW10 by myself. I wasn't successful in getting the schematics.
I would be very gracious, if you'd send them to me.
In return, and because I am also trying to repair the same device, I'd offer my assistance in helping with your problem. Though I am new to trouble shooting audio
parts, I've also done my share of electronic repairs, so maybe we both can get out of this with a working sub.

Hi,
I also have the same subwoofer with the same blowing fuses fault.
If any one can provide a link to the circuit diagram i will give it my best go at diagnosing the fault as I am an electronics tech by trade and have work for Sony Australia for 8 years as such.
This guy here has made some inital tests and found most of the issues are in the switch mode supply end.

Also there are some picks for referance at this link.But I think this guy is not on the right track.

Check out for shorted Power Transistors, Power supply caps, Rectifier diodes and other components again. Power supply fuses blowing can be high chances of some failed components have short circuit thus causing large amount of current to flow through the circuit. The worst case you will run into without a schematic to repair something is to check everything one by one the components and make sure there are no blown/shorted PCB tracks ... Hope this helps out and good luck ...
