I do not know if this is right place for this but here I with a bit of back-story. 1 month ago I desided to switch from windows 7 ultimate to linux mint 18.2 since w7 is do to lose all suport and updates as 1-14-2020 I do not like 8/8.1 or 10 so a freeware os was the only option. linux sound is not the best so I aded a eq program to to try to make better I leave home for a weak to camping with a friend the night before I my amp is working fine I set a backpack with 6 days of close and a laptop and charger maybe 10lbs on one speaker I leave next come home yesterday and deside to try the eq program and and dial in a nice sound any way I mes with the sliders on it and some thing on vlc player and have my dual 15 band eq ant its minimum to ajust later I start to play some and it is distorted so I start to back off on the ajustmint that I made and then I notised that only one channel was playing and then the realy triped and has yet to reset it self after more the 12 hours. What has happened and how can I sop and prevent it from happing again? :confused5::cry::angry3::sad1:

You put weight on a laptop?

Did you try the audio in/out jacks on the computer and use a mini stereo adapter (two lines in the plug, three is composite audio and video for portable DVD players) to male RCAs (female if you need to extend and I don't ever use a mini-male complete cord because it's cheaper to replace the parts than a whole cable).


10 pounds on a laptop sounds drastic. Don't do that. Even amplified external speakers are a better idea if you aren't carrying it around with you.

Your STEREO AMP/RECEIVER really does the most justice. The first time I used my old Pioneer SX-939 to listen to You Tube (way back when, it was ELO) I about had to change my shorts and I hollered for joy.

Are the speakers in the screen frame or on the keyboard half? What model do you have?

PS Same works to bring sound in, just in reverse.

I am sorry for the confusion but the computer is not the problem here. the power amp is
.
the computer was in my backpack with a weeks worth of close I on my floor standing speaker. it might have tuged the wires a bit cause the spade terminal on the amp were verey close. my problem is yesterday I turned my setup on and it went in to protect I asume and now wen I turn my amp on the relay will not click even after sitting over night
