My z906 was shutting off with any button touch or audio playing. Watch the video for an easy fix. Not sure if this will help everyone but it worked for me.
Thank you very much for your video! I have been using this audio system for over 10 years. The problem described appeared many times after a couple of years of use, but was solved by disconnecting the power. Today this did not happen, I spent several hours looking for a solution on the Internet, only your video helped. And now I know what this panel on the bottom of the console is for.
Holy Jebus Dude, you actually helped me fix my old set, which been collecting dust for years, because of the broken control unit. Shortwired 1-4, 2-5, 3-6, gave it a friendly bonk on the top and connected everything. Now it just works - and saved me a fortune for a new speaker-system. Thanks a bunch mate.
I had a crackling sound coming from all speakers. I clicked on my windows volume button and changed from one Realtek option to the second Realtek option (no sound from this of course), then switched back to the 1st one. The crackling stopped. Hoping anyone that comes here out of desperation when they have my problem sees this. If this doesn't work, then you can go ahead and try the above method. Though, I would like clarification on whether you switched the system on while the pins were shorted, Dory Hayes.
Thanks for the tip. Solved for me also. For those who don`t how to short pins: Use a hdd switch, or a clean metal part ( f example a cutter, knife , etc).
Weird… mine doesn’t have the little door on the bottom. You can see where it was supposed to be… but it’s not cut out. Guessing they removed it in newer models.
the question is.. how to program the z906 using those pins? I'm really curious, at least to be able to change colors of the LEDs.. that orange is not one of my favorite colors
Hi. I had the same problem as well. I did as you suggest but unfortunately can't power on at all. So i remove the solder. Now it work perfectly. Thankyou for the sharing information.
tried this method did not work for me but like some others a subsequent good whack as noted in some comments did the trick. Thank you all. I love my Z906 I have had for many years with no issues.
I know this post is long ago but I'm hoping you could help me.. just now mine dont work anymore I mean it was working firn last night per say but ...I'm.alrrady having a bad issue for years number one Myplate power button dont work anymore like for years now so I heavily rely on my remote but last night my remote just gave up all of a sudden I thought my battery was drained but when I replaced with new ones it dont power anymore.. is there any advice on how I can fix mine ? I was already frustrated thanks.
Simplest solution to me would be trying to fix that power button. Generally power buttons are monetary switches that make a connection to turn on and again to turn off. If you can open the control box up you should be able to see the switch. If you can shunt across the switch the speakers should turn on. If it doesn't something else could be wrong. You might Google search replacing PCB power switch for a video.
@@STF_YVR I have done it just for the 2nd time. First time was about 4 months ago after a period of about 1,5 years no use. And now the z906 works again without falliing out.
I have the same problem, i too didnt find a solution into reseting the unit. I will try to do your thing...the pins dont seem to be touching on your video...isnt that what shorted mean? that you made them touch?
@@adilmehmood5176 Haven't seen the newer model. I'd bet they changed the circuit boards. If it don't work and it's out of warranty pop the cover and take a look inside. I know my previous models logitechs the sub has the amp inside that burned out on a few speakers.
Unfortunately it looks like they did away with that little door and the pins. Mine doesn't have it. you can see an outline of where it use to be but no more. Mine has no sound and all it shows it three lights above the input. Reset doesnt work.
The three input lights at the bottom staying on means that there are two resistors burned out on the powerboard. R79 and R80 They are 5.6 Ohm 3w rated resistors. th-cam.com/video/D3fBcxR2N-I/w-d-xo.html
my z906 can only play for 5 minutes than popping sound then no more sound.......the back of the subwoofer is not hot . all i have to do is to shorten these 6 pin across like 1-4, 2-5 and 3-6 ? ?
i've tried but only 1-4 i can power on the z906 the rest i tried couldn't....and still same error.....last month the left pcb breakdown i cannot power on have to get one from china around 70$ and now i guess i have to get the right PCB for 70$ again......crossing fingers wondering if they can last for like 1 year or 2 years ......
Hello today i got the same problem after i start my z906 volume was stuck at level 3 and any button i press console shut down and if i try to change volume again shut down. i haven't tried your method yet but same as in comments after one rage fist it is working again but i feel like it's a temporary solve. If i will encounter this problem again i will try your method. I'm just wondering why all of us with z906 got the same problem and logitech refuse to answer our questions, forum is full with this issue
All right thank you man i kinda wanted to hear that from you because it's almost a year since you post this and i really wanted to know if you had any more problems :D ty for answer
Not sure what your asking but I explained this a few different times in the comments below. Use a conductive metal to connect the pins on the bottom to each other for a very short amount of time. I'm no expert on these, it just fixed my issue.
after a long time of problems I am frustrated, i cannot go above 50% and again the same issue. The reset does nothing for mine. Only when i short the pins under the controller and not every time. Some times i have to do it several times and then if i bump the volume, here we go again. We all gave so much money and this is bull.
Sir i already did what you did to your unit, it works but after a couple of minute it still the same problem. can you please elaborate or will you please teach us how you do it? thanks
no screws other than the cable and the 'door' for them pins. it is clipped together, i tried hard with some phone opener tools but it is very tight, i dont want to break it.
i unplugged it and shorted them pins, then i wasnt really care for about 2 days and when i needed the sound i reconnected and i noticed the button works normal.
After watching this video with no sound then reading comments, I tried banging the control console on the floor a couple times, plugged power back in and as others have reported it works perfectly fine now XD Better watch this video now while I have sound so I know what to do next time XD XD

not sure for how long but seems to be working for me, thank you very much Dory
Thank you very much. This saved my set. I was so mad when it just started with this issue. Happy I found your video in just a few days.

Thank you! I love my Z906 more than anything and it hadn't been working for two weeks but this fixed it.
Bruh you're a fucking legend. Appreciate from the bottom of my heart.
short em while powered off ok, but with the unit still plugged into electricity wall socket or not?
Thanks for the tip. Solved for me also. For those who don`t how to short pins: Use a hdd switch, or a clean metal part ( f example a cutter, knife , etc).
Holy moly it worked. i really wounder why, i tired having the unit unplugged for a month.
Thanks for the video. It's gotten my system back up and running. Do you have any idea why this works? What made you think to short the pins?
Worst case.. it wouldn't work. 😉
Weird… mine doesn’t have the little door on the bottom. You can see where it was supposed to be… but it’s not cut out. Guessing they removed it in newer models.
Amazing!!!!! It works to my z906.
That panel is there on mine but no screw, almost like a print on the unit.
Only 3 years of use meaning warranty gone :/
the question is.. how to program the z906 using those pins?
I'm really curious, at least to be able to change colors of the LEDs.. that orange is not one of my favorite colors

Cheers ..I did this and the unit started working again. Let's see if it lasts
Just doing the reset worked for me , thanks for the upload :)
Thank you so much for this video.
Fixed the exact same problem i was having.
I did it too and it worked...the real question is...will it do it again? Has yours been working ever since? Thanks
tazakos yea it's been working fine.
tried this method did not work for me but like some others a subsequent good whack as noted in some comments did the trick. Thank you all. I love my Z906 I have had for many years with no issues.
tried shorting the box with no results, took a glance at the comments and gave the unit a good whack, works perfectly after that
It came back again. Sad.. 3 LED problem.
Did you face the problem again after this?
It's been working fine ever since
Any issue now?
this problem keep on happening to my console almost 4 times past 2 years.. i still use same methode to resolve it.
hey buddy can you explain exactly fow you do it how you shorted the pins?
I used a mini screw driver. The pins are arranged like this : : : so I shorted them in pairs :
I know this post is long ago but I'm hoping you could help me.. just now mine dont work anymore I mean it was working firn last night per say but ...I'm.alrrady having a bad issue for years number one

Speakers are still working fine with daily use.
No need to repeat the process after a while ?

tazakos no I shorted the pins together using a small screwdriver. Figured if it was broke it wouldn't hurt anything.
lol dude... people are asking you how you shorted them with a screw driver, not everyone knows what that means
I would hope a quick google search would clarify that but hey, you know how it goes.
or you know.. you could actually just answer the question
Sem shorted means connecting two points together to allow flow of current between those two points. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_circuit
sir lights on my z906 are blinking should I try shorting the pins too @dory
Don't think it would hurt it. I haven't had issues with my speakers since I posted this.

What happens when you have 4 lghts on
What needs to be done if far left has no sound at all, connected to tv with optical Cable and still doesn’t work when using aux cable with my iphone?
I had the same problem, I solved it but buying a second hand subwoofer.
And now I'm using both to double the bass and shake my house 😁
Old post but mine has been doing this recently. Ironically I can resolve it for awhile just by unplugging and plugging back in.
Thank you very much sir!!! :)

Ugg thanks for posting that. Guess my next speakers won't be Logitech.

thank you very much, it also worked for me :)
Help please could tive me the values of resistance R45 R29
Same problems for me. Tryed your fix a couple of times, did't work. I got angry I hit it and works like new.
Cozmin Popa haha nothing like an old school fix! I had to do what I showed in the video like 3 times before it started working right.
Did you have to hit the controller unit or the sub? Asking for a friend... ;)
this is stupid as hell, a system like this should have these issues... its not like its a cheap system... how can you guys tolerate this ?

Thanks.... It's working. Glad i've found this video. Do you know how to maximalize Sound Quality from Z906 too?
Didn’t work for me keeps cutting out.
Sir i already did what you did to your unit, it works but after a couple of minute it still the same problem. can you please elaborate or will you please teach us how you do it? thanks
Dominic Pollecar just repeat the process. It took a few times trying this before it finally stayed working.
Anyone knows how to take this unit apart? I have a dodgey power button i want to check out
mikle65 good question. I've never really looked to open it completely. Might check the Logitech forums.
no screws other than the cable and the 'door' for them pins. it is clipped together, i tried hard with some phone opener tools but it is very tight, i dont want to break it.
i unplugged it and shorted them pins, then i wasnt really care for about 2 days and when i needed the sound i reconnected and i noticed the button works normal.
mikle65 if I understand you right it's working now? If so excellent!
It does working, yes
After watching this video with no sound then reading comments, I tried banging the control console on the floor a couple times, plugged power back in and as others have reported it works perfectly fine now XD Better watch this video now while I have sound so I know what to do next time XD XD
Lol and you probably had headphones within arms reach.
