Boston Acoustics HPS 10HO Subwoofer Speaker - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I don't know if you will see this or not, your post was 2 years ago. I have the same problem. My volume is stuck at 24. I have tried soft-reset........among other things. One thread says to turn volume down to 00 then press for 10 seconds. I have no control over the volume, so, yeah, thanks for that fix. I found that I could get the volume down by unplugging it,plugging it back in and sometimes the volume would pop up and I could turn it down one notch. I did it till I got to 00.............thought AHA! My problem is solved! No such luck. When I press the volume at 00 and try to hold it for 10 seconds, after 3-5 seconds it just pops back to the station frequency. I also thought that if I could get into the guts and spray the volume control with tuner-cleaner, it might help. No go.......after taking off the cover, I found a bunch of REALLY delicate looking electrical tapes and wires..........I was scared I would destroy something in an attempt to reach the volume control. I hate to trash this radio, the sound is awesome...............great design on the speaker, NASTY design on the controls. I'd be VERY interested to know if anyone, anywhere, has found a fix for this. I think maybe my next step will be hitting it with a hammer.

You may have to replace the zener with an equivalent having a heftier current rating.

donaldws1018 I was wondering if the static problem was resolved yet. I have a pair of the VR970's that don't sound so good either.

You can buy a substitute remote control in eBay or Amazon.com

8 Ohm Frequency Response:110 Hz, 120 Hz, 40 Hz

Check the speaker surround to make sure it has not self destructed.

Most often this unit goes dead because of zener diode ZD3 shorting. It is a 18v zener. replace this and you should be back in business.

humming is frequency intereference problem circuitry, bad wires unprotected wires

it is designed to only connect to the soundbar

there should be panels or rubber feet with screws underneath. or the speaker part can come off. that would be where the mesh would be or holes for the sound to escape.

right and left speaker test working but no audio

Try Amazon. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/robert_aad3edb7dfa380b9

Fuses blow when there is an overload. The most likely cause is a short-circuited semi-conductor IE: a transistor or IC etc. If you find one of these devices inside it with a heat sink on it, that will be the most likely cause. Transistors can be tested with an Ohm Meter and in a short circuit fault such as this, it will be like you have put the two test probes together!

Short circuited component/s at its circuit board. Check and replace it. Check for shorted component/s at the amplifier stage circuit. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. Surf the site with patience. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/

Check the wiring to that speaker and then the conections

Have you tried Boston Acoustics web site? Google manuals and see what you get

Do you mind to take pictures of res locations what you need?

You may have dislocated the voice coil. Repair shop may be needed.

When you are listening to the radio or anything else for that matter, use the mode dial to select info. From there it should display the radio station or whatever input you are in, rotate the mode dial again and it should display the time, once it does, select that by pressing the mode button.

Plug the green 3.5mm headphone jack from the speakers to the headphone port of the ipod. turn the volume down on the ipod and turn the speaker volume up, let the speakers do all the work, so you down ruin your ipod.
