Yoda Viestejä: 2564 Liittymispäivä: 23.3.2009 Viimeisimmät viestit1. Do you have the mains power cord plugged in for both speakers? These are active speakers and they need 100V to 240 V mains voltage to operate properly.
2. Do you have the main power switch (located on the back side of the speaker) turned ON for both speakers?

Re: genelec M040 wont power on
Youngling Viestejä: 7 Liittymispäivä: 15.3.2014 Viimeisimmät viestitI have read that they are aware of the problem and are repairing the speakers in the warranty but we still have to cover the postage costs? seems unfair if the monitors have a known manufacturing defect, dont you think?
I agree with you 100% on that.
Luckily, for me, mine was only 3 weeks old so I'm going to get a brand new replacement. I have to say, it is a little disappointing that I paid over £300 for a single monitor that has a manufacturing defect.

Re: genelec M040 wont power on
Yoda Viestejä: 2564 Liittymispäivä: 23.3.2009 Viimeisimmät viestitI am sorry to hear about your problems with our active speakers. Since both of you received units which are DOA, it is a clear case that they need to be repaired/replaced. Have you already been in contact with your local distributor? Typically postage costs are covered by the distributor during the warranty period but this might vary from country to country.
We have recently improved both M series models when it comes to resisting any disturbance coming through the mains power. Using an external power switch is one occasion where these kind of problems may occur more easily. Of course this update is free of charge during the warranty period.

RE: Re: genelec M040 wont power on
Youngling Viestejä: 1 Liittymispäivä: 22.7.2017 Viimeisimmät viestitBoth my M040's won't turn on this morning.
They are 3.5 years old and are registered, are they still elegible for the free update under the extended 5-year waranty?
They were purchased in the UK in Februrary 2014 before the March 2014 update, will I still have to pay labour, with free parts, as per the extended 5-year warranty terms, or are they covered for the free update under the extended 5-year warranty?
Thanks.

RE: Re: genelec M040 wont power on
Youngling Viestejä: 2 Liittymispäivä: 3.3.2015 Viimeisimmät viestitBought a pair of M030 at release date for over 1000$, 1 had this problem in 2015 and had to pay the repair because I had no receipt, the other one stop working today, same problem.
This is the only studio gear I have had problems with ever, very disappointing.
And yes I have spoken with costumer service in my country, they don't recognize this problem as a product manufacturing issue, and also cause I don't have the receipt they would charge me over 400€ for the repair, that is insane!

At the time we were able to repair the 2º monitor failing for free thanks to Genelec (although it took like a month), now my other monitor failed again, this is the 3º time I'm dealing with this problem since I got them

Hi Ilkka,
Thanks for the reply. The store where I bought my M030 is going to pay for shipping and they are sending me a new one.
When you say "We have recently improved both M series models when it comes to resisting any disturbance coming through the mains power. Using an external power switch is one occasion where these kind of problems may occur more easily." can you please explain this? Do you mean that the M030 now have a switch on them for turning them on and off rather than turning them on and off just at the mains?

Youngling Viestejä: 7 Liittymispäivä: 15.3.2014 Viimeisimmät viestitHi, mine were bought mail order so source distribution in the uk say i need to send it to them, for which they will not cover the postage TO them.
I hope you get sorted, Dan.

I mean that there are some internal improvements to better resist any disturbance coming through the mains which could potentially damage the speaker, typically burn the mains fuse. M030 and M040 have always had a power switch on the back so there are no changes there.

Re: genelec M040 wont power on
Youngling Viestejä: 2 Liittymispäivä: 30.9.2014 Viimeisimmät viestitWas about to buy a set of M040's from Germany when I read about this issue.
Could someone from Genelec please comment on how common the issue is on the M040's?
Is there a manufacturing cutoff date (after which the update has been done) that I should be asking for when I purchase?
I'm not really interested in buying a set of brand new monitors only to have to send them back overseas to get them repaired.
Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for your question. The issue wasn't common on the M040 to begin with, but we decided to upgrade it as well for added protection. All M030 and M040 speakers produced since March 2014 have been updated.

In 07/2014 when my first monitor was repaired, with what was replaced the part with problem, the same power supply or with added protection ?

Hi,
You should contact your local distributor for more detailed information. They have provided the service and therefore will have more information about it.
