Try to pump up the volume from your computer. These speakers usually have electronics for auto shutting down when there is no signal at the input.

    Is it possible to connect the audio cable from Gigaworks at an mp3 player or another source to double check the speakrs? By the way check the jack at the end of the cable for possible problems.

    Waiting clarification, don't hesitate to post.

    I have the exact same problem with this product; sounds like a switch when it turns itself off randomly. Cutting the power for ~3 seconds until the LED at the back blinked, then switching back on seemed to fix it temporarily (It made the same 'click' when the LED blinked), but now it clicks off every time I turn it on. All the speakers still work fine in another system, the problem seems to be in the subwoofer itself. Creative tech support won't even answer me (they just say its out of warranty- nothing they can do, even when I try to pay for them to fix it...)

How to solve error code E000000-0000 in canon IR2200
  • Code: E000-0000
  • Description:The reading of the main thermistor does not reach 30C 1 sec after the main power switch is turned on. Or, it does not reach 70C 2 sec thereafter
  • Causes:The fixing film unit is faulty. The main thermistor has an open circuit. The fixing heater has an open circuit. The main power supply PCB is faulty. The DC controller PCB is faulty. To reset the error, execute the following in service mode: COPIER>FUNCTION>CLEAR>ERR.
  • Remedy:1. Connector Is the connector of the fixing assembly connected? a. main power supply PCB (J8) <-> relay connector <-> heater b. DC controller PCB (J320) <-> relay connector <-> thermistor NO: Connect the connector. 2. Fixing film unit (thermistor) Check the interval between pin 1 and pin 2 and between pin 3 and pin 4 of the connectosr (4-pin) of the thermistor for electrical continuity. Is it W (open)? YES: The heater has an open circuit, or the thermal switch is open. Replace the fixing film unit. 4. Main power supply PCB, DC controller PCB Press the Start key. Is the drive voltage of the heater supplied by the connector J8 of the main power supply PCB? Main heater: between J8-1 (FSR1) and J8-5 (FSR COM) Sub heater: between J8-3 (FSR2) and J8-5 (FSR COM) YES: The heater drive power supply is faulty. Replace the main power supply PCB. NO: The thermistor control mechanism is faulty. Replace the DC controller PCB.
  • Code: E001-0000
  • Description:The main thermistor detects 250C or higher
  • Causes:The fixing film unit is faulty (i.e., the thermistor has a short circuit). The main power supply PCB is faulty. The DC controller PCB is faulty. Caution To clear the error, execute the following in service move: COPIER>FUNCTION>CLEAR>ERR.
  • Remedy:Check the interval between pin 1 and pin 2 and between pin 3 and pin 4 of the connectors (4-pin) of the thermistor for electrical continuity. Is it 0 W (short circuit)? YES: The thermistor has a short circuit. Replace the fixing film unit. If the thermistor has a short circuit, the indication in service mode (COPIER>DISPLAY>ANALOG) will be as follows from the start: FIXC= 250°C for the main thermistor; FIX-E=310°C for the sub thermistor. 2.

Electric hose on rainbow not working
Be sure to have a solid connection and that you hear two clicks when connecting your electric hose to the front of the main unit. If this connection is not solid, then the receptacles can not make contact. Try bypassing the hose and plug your power nozzle directly into the front of the main unit to confirm that the hose is the issue.

Hi,
Either the relay is bad on the board or the motor has gone bad...what you are hearing is the transformer in there but it has nothing to do with the motor other then run the relays that turn on the motor...so... it could be a number of different things...relay, motor, or t-stat...you will have to have someone or you use an electrical meter and trace down the problem.

I have 2 amps instalkled in my car one is sony 1200w 2 channel amp for speakers and one is solid audio f2500d for 3 subs my sound and every thing was good but suddenly from yesterday im having trouble when...
First disconnect the CD head unit from the sub amp and see if the other amp works. If yes, the problem is the wires to the amp, the amp itself, or the subs/sub wiring. If no, the problem is the head unit--probably an internal short.
If the other amp works with the sub amp disconnected, reconnect the sub amp to the head unit, but disconnect the sub wires from the amp. Try the CD player. If the amp goes to protect with no speaker wires attached, the amp is bad. If the amp is OK, the problem is the subs or sub wires. Hook the wires up to the amp again, but disconnect them from the speakers. Try the player again. If the amp goes to protect, the problem is the amp wiring. If not, the problem is the subs. Check the impedance of each sub using an ohmmeter to determine which amp is out of spec.
Please let me know if you have questions, and thanks for using Fixya.

The fixing film unit is faulty. The main thermistor has an open circuit. The
fixing heater has an open circuit. The main power supply PCB is faulty. The
DC controller PCB is faulty.

Caution:
To reset the error, execute the following in service mode:
COPIER>FUNCTION>CLEAR>ERR.

Action:
1. Connector
Is the connector of the fixing assembly connected?
a. main power supply PCB (J8) <-> relay connector <-> heater
b. DC controller PCB (J320) <-> relay connector <-> thermistor
NO: Connect the connector.

2. Fixing film unit (thermistor)
Check the interval between pin 1 and pin 2 and between pin 3 and pin 4 of
the connectosr (4-pin) of the thermistor for electrical continuity. Is it ¥W
(open)?
YES: The heater has an open circuit, or the thermal switch is open. Replace
the fixing film unit.

4. Main power supply PCB, DC controller PCB.
Press the Start key. Is the drive voltage of the heater supplied by the connector
J8 of the main power supply PCB?
Main heater: between J8-1 (FSR1) and J8-5 (FSR COM)
Sub heater: between J8-3 (FSR2) and J8-5 (FSR COM)
YES: The heater drive power supply is faulty. Replace the main power
supply PCB.
NO: The thermistor control mechanism is faulty. Replace the DC controller
PCB.
