Speakers

[hairmonsta]

Hello,

I have noticed over the past few months that the LCD on the control pod of my Z-5500 5.1 speaker system is fading. The problem seems to be somewhat intermittent. However, it is getting worse and the the characters towards the edges of the display are now completely disappearing. Has anyone else experienced this problem and is there a solution to it?

Hi, if your system is still under warranty, you can contact logitech for a replacement.

Maybe I will have the same problem with my Control Pod LCDisplay ... going to be Fade, sometimes, but Fade (bum low). and... until to get be a Out Of Working.

I still have warranty, and I am from Bulgaria. What I have to do if this is happen totaly?

Actually, this was a complaint of mine from the day I got mine (but maybe my complaint is a bit different then yours.)  My complaint was the "COLOR" of the LCD backlit.  Online they made it look like it was a nice deep indigo blue, but in reality it's a pale light blue that almost looks white-very NON TO HI TECH looking.  They really need to get their act together and get these speakers updated and fix the backlight issue to where it's suppose to look like.  These are minor things that can be corrected but all they do is continue to pump out these sytems as if they don't need 'adjusting'.  I threw mine out and I'm waiting for and upgraded model, I just don't like them, especially now that I have more hardware, I don't have enough ports to connect my audio devices since they only have two digital ports (one coaxial and one fiber optical.)

So Logitech, how much longer do we have to wait?  It's been years!  Get with it!  You know there is a market for this, what exactly are you waiting for?  In invitation greeting card from Hallmark?

The accepted solution is all well and good, but what about those whose warranties are up and who don't have any RMA option? What then?

i had the same problem but  no waranty i fix it my self by buing some two 4 pin leds has to be 4 pin because they are flat and they fit on the sides  u have to cut sone plastic fron the sides to put back the screen sone pictures ..... works perfect

Hey I was interested in that Replacement you are talking about. It seems that your uploaded image is not showing. Are you sure that it's just the "LEDs" at the sides. I thought it was the entire LCD display itself. My LCD itself flickers in such a way that the black writing itself fades along with the blue backlight in a gradient across the display..

What exactly was your problem? If you can actually include a link to your picture online or somewhere. It would be helpful in the future in case my (and anybody else's) LCD actually goes. I already had overheating problems with my control pod and I had to fix that myself. So Iwould really appreciate the input.

Hi K3

I guess what he means is that the original LEDs from his control pod died and he inserted new ones on the sides to light the pod again, I guess the problem of LED lighting is solved/fixed but the original cause of the LED dying was not solved.I have read somewhere in these forums that the problems of these pods is IC not the actual LEDs themselves.

Hi guys, i guess i have the same problem with my Pod, the speakers works fine but this case the lcd when you're looking the front view the font blocks looks black but if you see it from the bottom or looking from the top you can see the fonts very well .. please if anybody can help me in this case... i was trying to find some solution like contrast fix or any how a GOOD answer that is not the warranty solution..  

Thanks a lot.
