Thanks for the video. Never done soldering in my life before. Had to buy soldering tools and a capacitor. I must i was impressed with your simple fix. Now my sound bar is working again. Thanks again.

Not sure what I’m impressed by more- this dude grunting the instructions so people can understand the process successfully or him doing it all one handed. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ran into the same problem with My soundbar, and I replaced the capacitor and it now works! Thank you so much!

Awesome, Thank you. A $1.25 CAD (Digi-Key) repair saved me $250++ for a new sound bar and more importantly saved a bunch of plastic and stuff from the Garbage & Recycling processes. Capacitors appear to be the weak link in many electronics, as I have had to do this before on my hot tub motherboard, (Saved a $1,000 on that one). Someone smart needs to develop a longer life capacitor or a capacitor anyone can easily remove and replace (plug in??), would help save the planet from a lot of discarded electronics. Cheers!

Thanks for the brilliant tip. For me too, it was the defective C914. Instead of 470µ the electrolytic capacitor measured only 150µ and was therefore outside the limits of +/-20% allowed for the circuit. I changed the capacitor and everything worked again!

This worked for me too and saved serious cash for me! You're my hero. Thanks a lot!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and the video! Excellent.

Thanks dude! This video is very helpfull. I just fixed the soundbar for my dad. Its so satisfying that it works now.

Brilliant. I’m no technical minded but took board out. Got a mate to solder new capacitor. Now working like new 👍

Just finished and it worked! Thank you!

Just Fixed my Sony soundbar. Many thanks. Thats Great manual.

Thank you so much for this video. I had exactly the same symptoms with the same model and sure enough, after dismanting, the same capacitor had the bulge. Replaced and now working - a really cheap fix 🙂 I guess this suggests a weakness in the circuit design. Thanks again!

Thank you!!! It was the exact same capacitor. As others have mentioned, don't leave your soundbar on when it's not in use. Mine died after leaving it on over night, never again.

Thanks so much fixed my sound bar for under £20... brilliant

Thank You!!!!! You are a star! Just fixed my sound bar ;)

This worked. About $6 for a bag of capacitors and some poor soldering skills on my part. I couldn't get the old capacitors wires to turn loose and ended up using a fine drill bit to open up the hole for the new one. That made me sweat! Also note you will have to pry the casing open and get some popping along the middle. Thanks

It worked, thanks a lot. I replaced mine yesterday :)

Thank you very much , I just fix my sound bar which is no reaction with the power button, there no light on the sound bar, I just brought 2 pounds of parts, it back to normal.

For those asking about a REPLACEMENT REMOTE for the soundbar... You may be better off either buying a 3rd party replacement remote (usually cost about US$12-15), or buying/using a "refurbished" Logitech "My Harmony" remote like the My Harmony 650. I can confirm that the CT60 soundbar is included in their libary of remotes to add to the 650 (or whichever logitech My Harmony remote you might obtain). I use the My Harmony 650 to replace the original remote. Note: there are two 650 versions...one supports up to 8 remotes, and the other supports up to 10. I THINK th 8 remotes unit is silver and the 10 remotes one is black. They were the same price last time I looked (both refurbished) at about US$50. CAUTION: Using the logitech MY Harmony remotes REQUIRES a Windows computer (Win10 seems to work best) AND INTERNET connection to access Logitech's archive of datasets that support the various remote controls. There MAY be a Linux support version.

Thx you just fixed my Sony sound bar

Hermoso cuando solo son cosas con estas. Pero cuando salen fallas que ni en Internet encuentras consejos o tips?.. jajaja Saludos desde Monterrey NL México.

Thanks man my wasnst even turning on, same capacitor, replaced all worsk as before :-) Many thanks for your video

this worked for me! thank you for posting this video!!!!

Thanks for the video,cost me £2 pounds for the capacitors got 5 lol, sound bar is up and running again 👍👍👌

This works! Thanks a lot! :)

exellent video, good work

excellent video and easy guidance to repair the soundbar, i have an exact same model that the sound cuts off every now and then, sometimes i switch it on it works for a while then goes quiet, any ideas what could be wrong with it?

Top video - thanks, worked for me to.

Thank you, helps a lot 👍

Thanks!, you saved me some $$$

Worked for me also, had exactly the same problem 👍

It runs. Thank you very much

I got one of these soundbar, it starts OK plays few seconds then a sharp scratch sound and it switches off, could it be a capacitor? Visually nothing seems wrong on the board

Worked for me, although I had to completely reassemble the unit before it would power up.

Is there any 5v output ? I have the non bt variant and want to solder a bt board to it

Thank you very much for video. My sound bar exactly same.issue . Blown resistor.

Thank you very much, with a few euro I solved the problem...

THX for the movie. I took the damaged capacitor from the old PC power supply. The cost is $0.00 👍👍

Hello. Thanks for the video. Plz tel me how can I set up a universal remote to work with this soundbar

Does one need to do soldering? Couldn’t see it in this video.

Hey there... mine is broken today... i can turn it on, but no Sound came out of the Speakers. RCA or BT, doesnt matter. Any Ideas what can be broken? :)

What kind of remote are you using?

Very good Video, i will fix mine too. 👍😊

Good work thanks

What part do you need to soulder it?

When plug in elect the power led light turnes on for minute and turned off sharp lcd no sound or picture

Can you tell me about the remote universal code you used please .?!

Many thanks 👍

It would have gone a lot smoother had my old one not broken off. It was very difficult getting those tiny ''legs'' out, but I did. I have yet to try it as it's my mother's. I am taking it to her house later. If it doesn't work it was worth trying. If it does, even better. Thanks for the detailed video. Updated: It didn't work. It wouldn't turn on. The batteries in the remote were new about a month ago so we'll try that. otherwise, I guess it goes in the garbage. It'll cost too much to have it looked at. I'd expected it to last longer than 4 years.

Only can turn on with remote??

I suspect the cap to get damaged by heat from the transformer right next to it. Found the exact same defect in my soundbar yesterday.

How do you know it was that one that was faulty?

Hi mate. Thanks for your help, but now I got a new situation. The barsouns stopped to work so I changed the capacitator and it turned on and works again but it has no sound. Someone can help me with this? Or somebody just happened the same? It turns on and sources (coxaial, bt..) just the sound doesnt work. It is like mute botton was pressed but it isnt. Someone knows about capacitator/s could be? Thanks for help. Regards from Spain

What remote is that

Hey man, this video already helped me. Unfortunately this issue keeps coming back. Do u by the chance know what's the cause of this problem. The same capacitor popped again. Thanks in advance

I see you just pulled capacitors off, don't they need to be soldered?

Thanks

I lost my remote to the speaker and ordered a replacement but it still won’t turn on anything I can do??

Hi how can I used with out a remote

How can you tell the capacitor is broken? Or is it always the same capacitor?

Hello, i replaced the part but it working but i have no sound, why ? :/

My problem is it go on and connects to cellphone for two seconds and bluetooth starts flashing

mine goes on but after a while it stops ringing I don't know what this is, please help me

On the bottom of the circuit board there's a plug for what

Como se puede prender sin control?

How to turn it on without remote controler? 🤔

What else could it be. I know nothing and tried seeing if I saw a bad component.. but everything looks ok..obviously not.. power cord??.

Pls anytime I try connect my sound bar with Bluetooth it always go off what can I do Pls

What if the unit won't power on at all?

Just held my finger on 3 buttons come on.. gotta do it every time but comes on... or keep clicking power then hold

I have a SA- CT60 IT WON'T POWER ON what can I do to fix it

Can I send u a pic of mine I tho k I have more that's rounded

Common problem with this soundbar. I has already changed a second capacitor.

Where's the power button if you don't have a remote

I can't get top off

Jesus Christ, I have it ! 😮😅😂 Please for do no have that don't leave your soundbar on the power all the time 😔

In other words, time to buy a new one from Amazon.

I think

Одна маленькая деталька!!!!!!!!!!!!

No sound

DELETED THIS COMMENT. I bit the bullet and ended up destroying one of the 3 capacitors I previously ID'd in order to 100% verify the specs and discovered they were in fact 35V 470uF...not 16V 470uF they appeared to be when covered by the yellow gunk. Old comment title="POSSIBLE DIFFERENT CAPACITOR(S) TO CHECK/REPLACE" Please disregard the prior content of this comment and an apology from me.

That is a rough video. Get a tripod or something stable.
