One of my 8040's is dead :(
Youngling Viestejä: 2 Liittymispäivä: 23.4.2009 Viimeisimmät viestiti have a pair of 8040's , amazing monitors I love them, use it every day, but today I turn them on and just one of them start... the other is dead.. the light in the front wont light up... i thought it might be the power cable, change it and no luck... i move the on/off switch many times and nothing...
i have always use them with a grounded power conection, the back of the speakers are well ventilated, I dont even use it on too loud leves cause i work in home.
is there anything i can do to fix the dead one... i'm from Chile, Southamerica, so i think there are no official technical service here
i'm so sad man... i love this speakers and i work so hard for them

Youngling Viestejä: 2 Liittymispäivä: 23.4.2009 Viimeisimmät viestitI mail them and I'm waiting for the answer
but the other question i have is that i'm out of the warranty time
so can I open the monitor myself to check if is the fuse? I praying that just the fuse was dead and the amp was ok..
and I don't know if i must open the speaker for myself ... i mean if I'm out of the warranty time it shouldn't be a problem that i open the monitor and check it or not?
the technical service will be paid to fix the monitor anyway (because I'm out of warranty)
what do you recommend? ( i have repair equipment previously)
thanks

Youngling Viestejä: 2 Liittymispäivä: 7.4.2015 Viimeisimmät viestitHi,
Only a qualified Genelec service technician should open the speaker. Please do not try to open the speaker yourself. If it turns out to be the fuse, the service won't be expensive.
I WANT to open my speakers. I bought them 2006. So the warranty should be obsolete by now?
The reason is that i want to re-paint them because of some scratches.
HOW do i open them after i remove all the screws? It seems stuck in some way.
I will not pay alot of money just so someone can open them for me
Great speakers by the way. It's the 8020a.
