Just getting back into electronics and am enjoying al the new and
wonderous stuff that is available these days.
But, ran into a simple but annoying problem - I have a pair of
'computer' speakers attached to my windows box - 240v powered, internal
amp etc, and quite reasonable sound for cheap ($100 or so 5 years ago)
and crappy stuff.
But lately I get hum and motorboating at times - probably the electros
due for an overhaul, no sweat
But I can't get the effing case open! Looked everywhere (eg under
labels etc) for concealed screws, but can't find a bloody one!
Maybe the buggers really glued this so and so together, but sheesh....

Re: So embarrassing
Well you are sooo right Michael .....actually the cig lighter socket on my
4Runner gave up and died - Toyota mob wanted $170 to replace it!!! So
thought I'd do it myself - what a bugger, have to pull the motor, gearbox and
diff out to do it (slight exaggeration here) - ended up just running a lead
from the battery to an inline socket - much easier.
David - who did run the lead thru a fuse of course

Sounds like you need a technician, David (one who doesn't do dastardly
things to your coffee mug).
There might be screws beneath labels on the back, and it's very likely
that the case halves have moulded-in clips where they overlap. Try
running a small screwdriver or your thumbnail down the crack to see if
they'll unclip.
If all else fails, try an American screwdriver (large hammer)....
Good luck

Re: So embarrassing
Hi Bob
Yeh, looked behind labels, and tried the crack open technique I use with the
old Apple Macs - that thing is sealed up tighter than a nuns 'rosery'
David - who wonders why those NASA guys didn't get this speaker mfg mob to
build them a shuttle that doesn't come apart - ever
