ProMedia 2.1 Connector Problems

[Mac-A-Matic]

My old Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 is experiencing connector problems.

The s-video looking plug no longer collects effectively with the sub cabinet. I have to press and hold the connector in and wiggle it around to get any of the three speakers to work. Hold it at one point and the right speaker works, another and the left speaker works, yet another and sub woofer works. However, none of them work at the same time in unison.

I opened up the panel but the connector port is sealed in some sort of plastic/wax looking substance.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

You have discovered the inherent design weakness of the Promedia 2.1 by Klipsch. Either a speaker goes out or the subwoofer or both. The satellite speakers can be repaired by purchasing the control pod that fits under one of the speakers ($30), but the subwoofer as far as I know can only be repaired by Klipsch ($75, for repairing the whole).
