Is It Possible? Cause I'm Not Going To Buy A New AMR130 System And I Think The (11/2001) Is When The Warranty Expires I Wish I Got It Fixed And It Was Never Popping And This Would Not Have Happened If It Popped Also, Taking It Apart Was A VERY BAD Idea

Are you asking if the AMR130 could be sent to a Polk authorized repair shop? Given it's so far out of warranty a local repair shop may be able to take a look at it but their charges just to diagnose a problem are usually more than the value of the system.
If I were in the situation I'd figure out what my need was for speakers first before deciding whether to attempt a repair on that type of system. Especially given how old it is and the likelihood one repair may lead to another.
Is the need just for a pair of stereo speakers to hook up to a computer? Or was the AMR130 being used for a home theater system? There are likely far less expensive options than trying to get someone to repair the system. -
It's Not A Home Theater System, It's A 5.1 Computer Speaker But When You Turn It On With The Front Speaker It Flashes The LED Linked To The Subwoofer And Front Speaker And It's So Loud That It Bleeds My Ears But I Took It Apart Then My 5-Year-Old Son Broke Off The Peice To Turn On The Speaker System And Turn Up Or Down The Bass And It's A Old Speaker Speaker System And It Was Last Turned On In 2020Are you asking if the AMR130 could be sent to a Polk authorized repair shop?

It Should Repair It And By The Way, It Is 21 Years Old (Not That Old It Says 11/2001) So Don't Worry, The Warranty Is Still There Or I Can Get A New Warranty If That Is Possible -
Polk will not repair it, too old.
It's 21 Years Old And It's Not That Old Cause You Can Still Repair It At Other Places -
21 is an eternity in the realm of disposable consumer electronics. Production of specific transistors (Used for signal amplification) are constantly being discontinued in the name of obsolescence, and that is to say nothing of IC chips. As someone who repairs audio electronics as a hobby, I can tell you that sourcing and cross referencing parts is a big part of the process, as many parts are simply not made any more. Often a suitable replacement can be found, but that's hard work. IF you could source a schematic, and IF you could troubleshoot the problem, chances are slim that you could even find the parts to repair the unit. Polk is not going to mess with it, nor should they - the unit has served its purpose admirably, let it rest in peace(pieces) and move on to a new unit."Conservative Libertarians love the country, progressive leftists love the government." - Andrew Wilkow

Yeah, do that. Maybe they will get back to you in 21 years. That's not that much time. -
