Hi,
I am hoping that someone here may be able to offer some advice or point me in the right direction...
I just recently bought a Samsung Home Theatre HT-TWZ 312 system, with 5 speakers surround sound, off a guy for $5. He told me that it works but it got some water damage. Told me that he was going to try fix it but the repair man told him it would cost $250 so he just went out and bought a new one. I have it all set-up, using the wireless for the rear speakers. It works for about 5-10 minutes, sounds great, but then the front 3 speakers die down, the rear speakers work fine still. I assume because they are not plugged directly into the receiver. I noticed that after about 5-10 minutes the fan stops working, that's when the speakers die down. I turned it off, waited for about a minute and then turned it back on and it comes up with "protect" and shuts off again. I then unplug it for a little while, plug it back in and go through the same process again. Looking around online I read that it does this because of over heating or some kind of malfunction.
I unplugged it all, pulled the cover off and had a look, but I am newish to this, so I don't know exactly what everything inside does. Nothing looks broken, to me it all looks fine. I know this part can be dangerous, I simply wanted to observe, no touching. I plugged it back in, no speakers or anything attached, and it ran perfectly fine for 30 minutes then I shut it off.
Am I right in thinking that this may be an overheating issue? Do you think that this could possibly be an easy fix? Or is the repair guy right and could cost $250? One more question Do you know of a website that could show me what everything inside does so I have a better understanding?
If anyone could help or point me in the right direction I will really appreciate it.
Cheers!
