I have a Logitech X-230 desktop and subwoofer set. I bough them in the USA where voltge is 120V. I plugged them by mistake into a 240v socket. The subwoofer went buzz and stopped working. How can i repair the subwoofer, to use at 120v.
Please help.

sounds like you fried the electronics. you're probably not going to be able to fix it unless you feel like basically rebuilding it from scratch.

you either fried the amp, sub, or both. those kind of integrated speaker sets are practically unrepairable either way, unless you are savvy with electronics and speakers. you are not likely going to find an amp that provides power to the sub AND speakers, and if you do it is doubtful that it will be weak enough (32WRMS or less! TOTAL!) to not blow them up. still more, any amp like that will probably cost you more than the system's worth and if you can find anything that works you might as well get all new speakers anyways. by that time, you just re-bought your logitech setup thrice over. best bet: don't waste your time trying to fix it unless you think it'll be fun, don't take it to some audio shop that'll charge you like 50 bucks per hour to troubleshoot and tell you to buy a new one, and do just buy a new one. aren't they 50 bucks, anyways?

This is not a good thing. Take it to an audio repair shop. There is no telling what all you have blown. If the electronics are all on a board, then you may be able to replace the board. Good luck

Yeah, you probably fried some components on the internal amplifier. See if it can be repaired for less than a replacement. That sucks and good luck.
