I'm having a black streak with electronics...

[CadillacMatt 10+ year member]

Okay, so it all starts about a week ago. I thought I had fried my HU (turned out to be a shorted ground with the RCAs... simple fix.)

A few days later, I drop my phone at work and render it as useful as a paperweight. Talk to Sprint, have a new one coming under insurance thank God.

A day after that, I drop the new Virtual Boy I get off of Ebay and now the left eye gets screwed up every once in a while.

Finally, when I think it's over, I get up this morning and my computer won't turn on //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif Tracked it down to a faulty power supply... $43 at Altex.

On my way to Altex, I jokingly tell myself maybe I shouldn't touch the car... sure enough, I get in and the A/C blower isn't working.

Anyone else ever had a black streak like this? I'm afraid to leave the house now lol //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

I'm going through one right now.

A few weeks ago I thought my external harddrive crashed. It turned out to be the case itself.

Now my laptop screen is acting up like it's a bad connection or something. It will randomly go blank or have a bunch of weird colors and shit. And, of course, the warrany expired a month before I started having the problem.

And I just discovered today that my right computer speaker is all jacked up. At low volumes it doesn't make any noise. Once I turn it up it will start making sound again. Weird.

On top of that, my plate amp won't automatically turn off like it's supposed to. It's something with the RCA output on my receiver. Even though the receiver is off, it's apparently not cutting off the signal to the plate amp, so it stays on until I turn the plate amp off manually.

It sucks.

Yeah I'm deathly afraid to put my system back in my car this week... maybe I should wall socket one of my old blown Kicker SB's to appease the car audio gods //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Sounds like my buddy's streak with equipment he's bought/sold here.

First sub he bought caught on fire, and arrived with a broken basket.

Second sub came apart. Literally, basket unscrewed from motor.

Resold an amp (from here) to another member, amp left in perfect working condition, turns up at buyers house with an RCA problem. Amp was packaged perfectly.

Bought yet another sub, hole in the surround, which wasn't advertised.

I feel bad, being I introduced him to the classifieds. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
