I have a 2.1 subwoofer set for my computer. It's a sub and two speakers. The speakers work fine. The other day, I heard a buzzing and then an electronics smell. The sub no longer works, but the speakers do.

I took it apart, tested the fuse, checked the resistance of the speaker, and those all work fine. I don't know what else to check. The capacitors all look fine, but the 'electronic smell' when it stopped working makes me think of a blown capacitor.

What's the next step?

Thanks!
 
A few more details and some photos would help.

Is the subwoofer connected with just two connections? Where is it connected to?
 
LOT'S more details - you've given us pretty well zero information.

Make, model, schematic if possible, and pictures for a start - inside and out. You don't even say if the sub is self powered or not?.

Also an 'electronic smell' isn't likely to be capacitor failure, that would be a fairly low probability.
