Hello,

What have I done today?

Only used a power lead off my son's Sony PS4 to power up a spare BL8000 I had in storage. The result being that the speaker is now dead. I didn't realise that the power lead has to be the correct polarity and fitted in the correct way.

What will the damage be to the speaker? Is it an economical repair?

Cheers,

David.

It doesn't. The "polarity" in this case is merely a matter of live and neutral.
Something else happened.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Well that makes sense but my speaker is showing no signs of life nor a red light as usual, swapped things around checked all fuses and leads etc and nothing.

Wonder if there is an inbuilt fuse?
