Ok so I just moved across the world to New Zealand and I shipped pretty much all of my computer supplies. I went and took out my Logitech x-540 speakers and set them up, the only problem is that no sound whatsoever comes out of them. The wired remote console thingy gets power and when I turn on the system you can hear a slight brief hum from the subwoofer (which is normal) indicating the speaker has gotten power. But like I said, there is no sound coming from any of the satellites or the subwoofer.

In the x-540 system, the subwoofer houses all of the actual receiver components and I am trying to open it up just to see if something was blow something or if there is obvious damage to the circuit board. The only problem is I can't figure out how to take the thing apart. i can take the actual speaker out of the box no problem, but taking out the back panel is giving me a pain in the ass since the power cord runs through the panel and is hot glued on the inside of the box. I can't really explain it well enough but I took pictures to try and illustrate my problem.

So basically:



Here is the back panel, as you can see the power chord runs through the panel that I am trying to take off. It is held in place to the panel by some sort of stopper thingy (you can see that I have scratched it because I've been ramming it with my keys to try and open it up). I don't know how to take that stopper off so I can remove the panel completely. (my terminology is terrible, forgive me)



Here is the inside of the subwoofer box looking through the hole that the speaker occupies. As you can see the other side of the power cable is hot glued to the back panel.

So I need some advice for taking this back panel off without having to cut the power cable (I have no way of reattaching it right now without the help of someone who knows about electronics better than me). Whoever can walk me through getting the back panel off I will send ten dollars through paypal to. Whoever can troubleshoot my problem with no sound and whether the problem lies on the circuit board will be given ten dollars.

If you guys have any questions please ask. I just spent 50 dollars shipping these speakers around the world and I don't want them to just go to waste like this.
