Hi I had a pair of Yamaha towers back in the 90s that had papery/plasticky tweeters on them. One of the tweeters got dented. So I tried Scotch tape on it pressing on the dent softly w/the tape/pulling it out it WRKS

You have to use a special allen wrench. I tried to find a set for my old set and couldnt, so I just sent them back in when i was having problems. You can also get dents out of the cones by pushing carefully on the edge of the dent, kind of like u would do on a car, or a plastic bottle. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesnt though.

Just pulled a grill and they look like socket/Allen head screws...use an Allen wrench to remove.

The speaker is designed not take apart. The screw is plastic and laminated inside. It is a low end product basically. DIsposable. I got magnepan and am very pleased with it and plan to upgrade to another one. GOod luck. Sorry taking so long to get back with you.

Yeah, I've had a screw break off too high. I used a pair of flat nose pliers to grab a hold off the screw, then just bent the screw back and forth it broke off at the sub floor. Only happened once in about 400 screws

you can easily crack it open and cut the wires going to the clearly visible pc speaker, then just pop it back together. did it on mine..i was afraid of it not fitting back together, but they're nice tabs that are meant to be opened up and put back.

I don't know. My husband contact Sony & they gave us the name of a local company that was able to repair the television, however it does not negate the fact that we will never by another Sony product ever again. My suggestion to you would be to contact Sony.

You can try to pry it off. The speakers come together around the seal (the black line going through the middle of the speaker vertically), so you can take the front face off (4 screws), and remove the stand. The grill is on pretty tight so you have to be careful removing that as well (no screws).

Try looking for a reset hole on the bottom of the speaker. A paper clip should fit in it. That cured mine.if not, try calling the customer service number. I found them surprisingly helpful and friendly - not what you expect these days. They answered several questions I had and solved the problem Good luck!

I took it to a Hitachi service guy. Basically he took it all apart and forced it on. There must be an easier way.So I would appreciate how to do it.ThanksRCR

If its new, amazon may cover you...if not I would call or go on line to Polk and my guess is that will fix it or replace it if you explain what happened. ..you just may have to pay for shipping...? hope that helps

One way I can think of is to unscrew the case find the speaker and cut one of the two wires coming out of the speaker. Unless the speaker is soldered onto the board itself this should be fairly simple. I would do it in such way that it can be soldered back if necessary. I haven't tried this.

Yes. Return the whole set. It only gets worse. We had the system for a week and it happened and the one speaker quit working completely so we returned it. We bought a Sony set and have been really happy with it.

Forget to mention do not drop the speaker . The first speaker I had like a man at work let me borrow it I was supposed to pay him the next day but he checked out so I got the speaker for free, any way my son dropped it , it didn't work right ever sinc. I had to shake it to get it to play . ( something loosened).

Yes that happened to me on one of the speakers too. I ended up getting one screw ut so I couldattach it then super glued it so it was secured to the bracket. That worked for me.

I'm having a hard time too...the housing is actually cracking and I still haven't gotten them apart :( EDIT: I ended up taking out the two screws on the back of the remote (disassembling the remote in the process) to get it detached. The seam on the remote is getting caught on the seam on the base...maybe a few times detaching and re-attaching will smooth it out.

I took a look at the back and here is my observation:There are at least two ways to mount the speaker from the back without anything holding the weight at the bottom. One way is a single thread (either M5 or M6) located at the back center. I think this is most secure way. The second way are two mounting holes (pear-shaped) on the back sides located 3 inches away from the centerline. I hope this is helpful.

I haven't tried what you've tried-taking it apart. I just clean it with water, but I haven't taken it apart. At least yours makes a noise! It seems to me like the sound gets weaker and weaker until the thing stops working. I was surprised mine actually turned on today on the first attempt.

I just purchased the Sony HT-7000DH and hear a clicking sound. Were you able to fix this problem? I may end up returning this product.
