PSW125 - where is the fuse? (see pix)

Hi,

My PSW 125 sub has no power as LED doesn't light up. Our house / electricity had an electrical fluctuation the other day due to a storm, so I thought perhaps that the fuse would be the culprit.

I opened up the back plate, and I am not sure which among the components is the fuse. I expected to find a simple glass fuse, but couldn't find any.

Hope you guys can point out the fuse in any of the pix below. Thanks.

    Hello,
    It's been a while, but look on the outside of the amp faceplate where the AC cord plugs in. See if there is a section of the AC socket that has a small "hatch" that might drop down. If so, that is where the AC fuse is.
    Regards, Ken

    Hi Ken,

    Thanks for the tip. Yup, you're correct, I didn't need to go through the trouble to open up the plate. Oh man, it was so simple. The AC fuse is indeed on the small "hatch".

    The fuse seems fine though, and the wire inside not broken. Any ideas? Will try to see if I can get a new fuse just to test it out. I earlier tried replacing the power cable with another one from my PC. Didn't work as well.

    Hello,
    Sorry for the delay in answering your last posting. Sometimes the fuse wire can break up near the top of the metal caps. If you have a VOM (Volt/Ohm meter) you can check the continuity of the fuse. If it seems to be okay then contact Polk's CS first thing Monday at 1-800-377-7655 or send them an email at polkcs@polkaudio.com. They'll take care of it.
    Good luck, Ken
