SOURCE: I have Altec Lansing AVS 300 multimedia speakers with no power

Unfortunately the subwoofer supplies the power to the amp on the speakers, Once again I have the solution,
These speakers are factory molded so that the only way to open them is to break the factory seal
this can be done by sharply rapping the seam at the bottom of the speaker with a heavy screwdriver handle or something similar.
Now you need to supply power to the amp...If you do not have the subwoofer you will need a 4.5volt power supply, after removing the board from the casing find the red white and black wires connecting
the orange plug wire to it, Personally I removed the entire cord from the unit, shough you can splice in at this point if you desire.
Connect the white lead to your posative on your power supply by either splicing or soldering, connect the ground to the heat sink using the screw that is already there holding the chip to the sink. reassemble the speaker.....super glue... and you are now in business.

SOURCE: Subwoofer fuse 'holder' missing.

tape or solder a piece of metal across where the fuze and holder would go.
OR
go to radio shack, pick up a small cartridge style fuze holder and an appropriate replacement fuze. (if you dont have the original fuze, dont bother with this method) Open the box or case to gain access to the circuit board. solder a new holder to the contacts.

Be aware that I have no clue what the fuze holder on that particular model looks like.

SOURCE: Altec lansing ada885 took a dose of 240V, burned

Well is the new fuse still good or out again. if its good, then you probably fried the main board on the amplifier. These computer speakers do not handel big power serge's.

SOURCE: My altec lansing ada885 computer speakers is

the speakers plug/outlet is usually at the back of the computer you will have to open up the computer to check the lead attached to the rear of the input plug make sure the connection is good
or you might have to clean the dust from your computer dust causes static which causes your computer to overheat and all sorts of problems
be sure to wear an anti static earth strap before touching anything inside your computer try cleaning your computer of dust using a fine air blower from a compressor making VERY sure that there is no MOISTURE in the air line specifically around the CPU central processing unit and your SOUND CARD dust causes static to build up in a computer causing it to overheat any many other problems
hope this helps

Altec Lansing ADA995. One day the subwoofer emitted a high-pitched noise. No changes. Disconnected system completely, switched on and a loud hum came from the sub-woofer. Any ideas as to the fault?

A constant low hum is a sign of a power supply issue. You need to check the capacitors that filter the ripple current and you need to check the diodes that convert ac to dc

I have Altec Lansing ada 885 I only have sub woofer can anyone tell me how to power on with out other speakers . Because I have no switch to turn on with no other speakers and also the name of he plug on...

You do have a problem as the system is controlled by the right-hand speaker. I would suggest you somehow buy an ADA885 system where the main amp/subwoofer has blown, then you will have a complete system.

Subwoofer Emits a Buzzing Tone

The 2200 uF capacitor in the power supply has gone bad and the humming is a 60 Hz from the rectification of AC to 18 vDC.  Either get a new power supply or take apart the power supply and replace the bad cap.

Powered sub

thats sounds like feedback. try giving your sattelites spacings. if they are near to each other, try to put them far from each other.

try also to turn of your microphone. that might work.
