I guess I couldn't have done that without the speakers having their own 12V power supply - which it is connected to the same plug as the pc in the 240v mains.
The speakers are separate from the pc, that is why I mentioned I could biff them and by new ones.

I thought you understood my previous post, therefore your subsequent answer on trying to fix the amp, but once again I have succumbed to the mother of all mistakes -assumption.

1146724 2010-10-22 02:31:00 I'd sure give it a go. How do you suggest I attack it? Bearing in mind that I am not a pc technician in the purest sense.

Fortunately, troubleshooting an audio amplifier or anything electronic at the component level doesn't really have anything to do with being a PC Technician.

Unfortunately though I expect you probably have no experience with that either...

Assuming you do have at least some basic knowledge and tools such as a soldering iron, I suggest you take photos of the inside and post them along with a description of the fault at www.badcaps.net where there are some people who should be able to help.
