== Frequently Asked Questions ==
Q) Why didn't you just 3D print a new button
A) Come on, I wouldn't even get batteries down stairs for the remote, you think I was going to design and print a new button from scratch? (But maybe later)
Q) Why didn't you unplug it?
A) Truth is I didn't want to climb under the desk because my rib is still hurting like hell from being cracked. That being said it was stupid even though it made the video somewhat more entertaining from a cringe-worthy standpoint.
Q) Why are you so fat?
A) Lots of access to food!
Q) Can you still buy those speakers?
A) Yes, I linked them above however they are like $1500 because they are NOS now because they don't make them anymore. Just get the Logitech G906's which aren't quite as good but the best thing they make now or just get yourself a good stereo receiver and book shelf speakers or studio monitors if you have the space!
Q) Why is this video 30 minutes long?
A) I know RUclips wants 10 minute videos and this will hurt the viewership but I don't care, it was fun to make this video and I like making fun videos
I hope you enjoy the #DIYGasm #HowTo videos on my channel including #Tutorial of 3D printing, programming, technology, VR and so much more.
UPDATE: It broke after 3 days. I opened it up and used hot glue like I wanted to do the first time and it works like brand new and took 5 minutes total 😉 still hope you enjoyed the video 😎

I hope you guys enjoyed watching this very long train wreck of a #JerryRigged episode showing just how wrong things can go before they go right. This project should have originally taken like 10 minutes but instead went on for hours because of mistake after mistake.

My 5500 still works perfectly as well, best purchase i ever made... my lcd back light is a little dark, but still working, I did replace the fuse for a 30amp one over 10yrs ago, the factory one was shit and died after a couple of yrs.
2:08 love it
You have the best cuts on RUclips.
Remember when you customized your a.c
What if the screw drivers was down stairs.. The video would be a like half life 3
It was so nice seeing the old Jerry!!! Full of Energy and excitement about working with technology!! Can’t wait for more to come out!!
Full of Energy fueled by those sweet sweet pain killers! lol Seriously tho Jerry, don't get too attached to those things; that's a road you don't want to go down.
You could 3D print one now... but that would mean going back in for more punishment ;)
I'd get 3DPrintingNerd to do it. Sorry Jerry, don't want to put you down. Yet.
@@UKSonicBoomBoy Sure, I would do it.
@@3DPrintingNerd Love how you just pop in like that!
Would a 3D printer even be able to make a part like that accurately enough and still get a flexible portion that won't be brittle?
@@Razor2048 Sla or DLP
Sweet! 4k is finally showing up. RUclips takes forever to encode these days! Thanks for joining me on the premiere, we had over 1500 concurrent viewers and it was amazing talking with you guys!
buy the remote control i have the same Logitech Z-5500
Dude I was crying out of laughter when I realized I was only half the way through the video.. Jerry this video is gold!

Great to see you making videos again. That was entertaining. 😁
Wow this video was a roller coaster!! Great vid Barn. :)
"I've never tried pulling my knob off before"
-Jerry, 2019
Between the ridiculous series of more and more random steps you took and the quick edits, this entire video makes me feel like I finally understand what it feels like to have ADHD.
M Fochs is that a good thing? 😎
@@Barnacules squirrel
Feels a bit manic to me???
TIP: Use baking soda to instantly harden super glue.
LMAO! I was yelling at my screen, "no, the LED!!"
On Next Week's Episode: Jerry uses too much paint when painting the Z-5500 button, and it seizes up the button, requiring the application of acetone to free it ... which melts the zip tie superglue.
I think it's called a "Square Bit" - LOL.
It's always funnier when everything goes South.
Thanks Jerry.
This is why i love you. You not the only rigger that mesing up along the way.
Agreed! I wreck stuff I'm trying to fix constantly... seeing other tech guys and gals make the occasional train-wreck makes me feel not so stupid!
@@brainsironically 100% agree, funny how ppl work.
Next JerryRig: Jerry rig a 3v wall wart to power your remote for this. That way, you don't have to go downstairs and walk all the way across the house to get the batteries. haha
That was a nice surprise. Been a while since I got to enjoy a Jerry Rigged video.. missed them.. and damn.. don't know what pain killer you taking , but you were hilarious . I was laughing non stop !! Great video
amps define the size of wires, not volts and low volt caps aint gonna hurt anyone
Why, why would you take apart electronics with the power plugged in and on. That is how you get dead electronics.
Yea I was cringing the whole time because he could easily short it
But he still managed to destroy an absolutely amazing sound system.
Missed you bro. I'm very happy to see that you are doing better. Wish nothing but the best for you friend. You got this Jerry kick life in the nuts and rock on!
why dont you use digital audio instead of analog?
for $8.00 you should have gotten epoxy mix..superglue will wear out FAST epoxy mix will last forever
Good to have you back... I died out laughing when you went "Damn it I glued it in place."
I really missed you Barnacles, love your vids and your attitude keeps me going.
This was worth the hellacious upload time you went through yesterday, for damn sure. There's tons of value in seeing other people make mistakes and get past them - stuff goes wrong and dealing with that is an important part of real life.
+100 for use "Ladies" , "Pulling my Nob off" and "Ron Jeremy" in the same video. ROFLMAO
6:05 LOL KAJIGGER!?!?!? 😂😂😂😂😂 That's why I love you MAAAAAN! All them crazy words you be coming up with 🤗
I've been rocking the Z-5500 for over a decade and now this happened to my power button as well! Great to have a video on how you should *not* try to fix this lmao
Great walk true video big boned man... fixed my knob or button with this! its so awesome... But just a tip, i used clear zip ties and now the light is shining evenly.
Im so glad you’re back man, love the humor, love the stuff you come up with, great entertainment!
Yep, 5 min job with hot glue. Super glue is messy and isn't really good for electronics work.
You fix things the same way as me. Spend hours trying to bodge it and then realize I could have saved so much stress by just doing it the right way 😂
This was very entertaining. Please make some more.
So happy to see more videos from you! Thanks for all your content! :D
Some of your best Vids are when your teaching us something and making us laugh. This is definitely your strongest RUclips approach. You are so good at this. Keep making those hits.
Bro I'm so happy to see u back with this "old fashioned" Barnacles, I súper enjoy this video, keep them coming man!!
Thanks for the early access, Jerry. -Wolveswithears
LOL this is entertaining, but i am also laughing at the fact where this can be done by grabbing the batteries. Keep up the good work man!
Great acting, great editing, great 'bad' fixing, great fun.
I had great laughs.
I never laughed out loud so many times at a tech video. Whatever meds you're on, Jerry, keep taking them.
3D printed one in TPU with a contactor part on the back would be a nice follow up.
iFixit is still alive. Who would be able to fix tech without their tools?
15:24 Bend? You broke it. That has no structural integrity left whatsoever
Oh my God, Just glue the button, and use the remove to turn it on and off, Finally someone who has worse OCD than me, Love you Jerry...!!
I have the same Logitech speakers and the power button on it did the same thing yours did. I've been using the remote now for about a year (luckily, mine has batteries...whew!). Thanks for showing me how much glue is too much glue. I think I'll stick with the remote...at least until the batteries fail. Great video!
1:33 this is why I love your channel. Golden explanation. Makes total sense 👌👌👌👌👌

Who's with me now. We need more simulator content.
Okay, Okay, Okay, I'll do it when I get back from LTX
Barnacules Nerdgasm Yay!!! Thank you!
Lmao!!! This is the Jerry I remember... love the video. Was in tears laughing so hard. Great video!
2/10 no batknife use to crack the control box open.
Man wishing I was home to watch this live. Yet to catch one of your live streams live. At least your tech room has AC Jerry my tech room a.k.a my bedroom only has a window fan cooling system (works well most days but days above 30c are murder)
Jerry if you see this (I know I'm way late), I'm not gonna ignore those klipsch speakers, I mean if they've been working for you for a long time that's great, but it puts extra strain on the amp. You've lowered the impedance on that line , say they're both 8 ohm speakers spliced in to one line then then it's 8/2 so you have 4 ohms of resistance. Now if your amplifier is designed to work with 4 ohm speakers then no problem but if not you've created a short-er circuit as well as increasing the necessary load on the line. In component speaker setups especially older amplifiers have externally replaceable fuses that this excess in current would cause to blow and thus need to be replaced, however in an all in one setup as with most computer speakers you could easily be causing the premature death of the amp.
With a setup as extreme as yours why not go to a traditional surround sound receiver using the SPDIF output found on many modern boards? There's a lot more freedom there, and not only that, but lets face it, logitech speakers can be good, but klipsch all around would probably be better. I have some decent enough Cerwin-Vega computer speakers, but I tell ya man I'd trade them in a heartbeat for surround, definitely would have invested in proper surround sound over 3x 43" samsung TVs for screens but that's personal preference.
Also super gel works great for not getting fucking everywhere you don't want it to be
Not everyone can create entertaining content out of a simple project like this. Not to mention screw it up and still sort of fix it in the end. I am amazed you had patience to keep filming every angle even when everything got broken or drenched in glue. 🤣
awesome entertaining vid. love the jerry version of Jay's fart ending noise. please keep that going
This was quite entertaining. I laughed the whole way through.
When things go sideways, it leaves so much room for funny shenanigans if you're willing to laugh at it.
Dude I'm impressed.
I would have just soldered wires to the PCB where the actual button is, and installed a momentary switch to the enclosure somewhere.
Or just trip a power strip....
I'd have just dabbed 4 drops of super glue on the housing, sprayed the button with activator, and put them together and be done with it.
Dude you're not fat man you're cuddly, seriously though great video, your editing is fantastic
Never get tired of Barn vids!!! Keep them coming, Bud!!!!!
Jerry you are so adorable and charismatic, I am learning to be like your ball of energy. Thank you so much for being on RUclips
Dude! There are a few things I have learned in my life time and the 2 most critical is 1- don't bake drunk (unless you want to reinvent British hardtack) and 2- don't play with expensive electronics while on painkillers (and activator Fumes). LOL Hope ya feel better...
I'm wondering why in all your adventure the thought of using a 3d Printer didn't hit ya sooner... ;) You could have printed a new button...hell you could have printed a new Faceplate in the time it took for all the glue shenanigans. ;)
LOVED the Vid though. You are an inspiration to tinkering! More please :)
I have owned my Z5500 for almost 20 years now and it is the best speaker system on the market. You can't buy it new anymore and searching it up on forums is the same statement. Logitech went above and beyond with it!
I have swapped out the speakers with some amazing bookshelf sized ones throughout the room and the bass output on the sub is enough to shake a house down if you want it.
This is like watching a drunk squirrel solving algorithms that explain why a black dress looks more elegant on a giraffe when you drive by your neighbours house faster at night, assuming water flows uphill now and then.
Brilliant! It was like the weirdest episode of Macgyver ever.
CA glue activator is not only toxic, its unnecessary, baking soda in water works fine. Baking soda without water will adsorb CA glue and create a rock hard composite material that is even better for this than CA glue alone.
Jerry watching your RUclips vids are like eating freshly backed chocolate chip cookies with cold milk. We LOVE you brother.
Ron Jeremy 😂😂😂 who else knew the super glue would make the plastic brittle and cause more issues? Haha. The wole time i was wondering why Jerry didnt just 3D print an all new assembly for it but it wouldnt have been as hilarious to watch. There can always be a part two where you do 3d print a fix though 😁
In an effort to be lazy you made WAYYY more work for yourself, which is hilarious. Thanks for the video!
Dang Barn you are having my kind of day when tinkering lol
I think this is the most funniest, stupidest, ingenuously wtf video I've ever seen 😂😂😂 you rock bro 💯👊🤗
One of the best DIY fixit videos I have seen.
This video made me chuckle...FFS Jerry, you need to keep on making videos, because this is entertaining 😀
Been there so many times. "I'll just fix this thing... shouldn't take long, like 5 minutes tops." 5 and a half hours later. "Why... why did I do this?!" -____-
All I want to say is I love this video, nothing wrong with cringe man, that’s why its called Barnacule Nerdgasm, wouldn’t want this video any other way.
Laughed so hard at the start of this it just tickled me for some reason lol
I would not reccomend using logitech for audio equipment
Why?
@@Barnacules just being a general tech company their speakers don't create super accurate sound. I dont know much about their amps but switching from a logitech speaker system to a set of Edifier R1700BT speakers was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I've also heard that Micca is great for affordable speakers for a computer system
I waited a decade for this! HAHAHAAH this has gotta be the BEST barnacules video ever. you want to hear the craziest story? I found you originally by searching for info on z5500 back in the day. but I subscribed & stayed for these kinda crazy videos like you used to make a lot more often.
anyways, this is great content. and could be a continuing series. YES please, print that 3D button. and hell why stop there? 3D print the whole back assembly piece as well to put it back together. instead of the power icon but barnacules or your logo on there. I hope you saved all the broken/trash pieces. otherwise I dunno how you're going to get the exact dimensions.
unless one of the viewers who also owns one of these, volunteers to take their control box apart & help you out lol.
Good to see you making more videos. Looking forward to seeing you get back to full speed. I was yelling "sandpaper"at the TV when you were trying to get the glue off of the button, lol.
Jerry is BACK and crazier than ever !!!!!!!!
I love watching you and your badass badassery.
Barn: Logitech Z5500 is the best
Klispch: hold my beer
The Kipsche speakers sound amazing.
@@Barnacules I can only imagine why not swap them all out. Hey thanks for replying bro, love your channel.
I LOVE MY Z-5500's Great speaker system
We've all been there XD Being to impatient and turning a simple fix into a horror story. I do think your zip tie solution was pretty neat. Al be it really poorly done :P XD
SICK VIDEO!
ive been crazy with crazy glue so many times.
Hopefully you JerryRIG some other RUclipsrs stuff someday. Love to see that.
There is always that one guy who patches stuff horribly. Maybe a JerryRigged option will be best lol
My God this was one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.
Loved this Jerryrigged vid! Thank you Mr. Barnacules!
I have never commented, but I've watched your videos for a long time now. I really enjoyed this video. It is like the good old times. You have such energy on camera and I understand that energy is hard to keep up. Just want to let you know that I love your videos and the stuff you do.
If I could I would Ron Jeremy you with money lol. Always entertaining!!!!
Watching this video was the best use of thirty three minutes of my evening!
lol Well now I know what the inside of my Z-5500 Control Panel looks like. My power button works fine, along with the remote. However, the screen has gone super dim. Still functions correctly, so I'm gonna use it until it's completely dead! Great vid!
Maybe some one sided sticky rubber pads would help the bottom of the stand not slide? Other than that keep it up Jerry! I’ve been with you a long time and whenever I see a video from you I remember the passion you have! Take care.
Poor 5500 :(
I also have the 5500 set and still LOVE it.
I only changed the 2 front speakers with bigger ones for better music sound.
You're blessed if it was me by the time half way done my wife would walked n and put the remote with batteries already inside and left with saying nothing making me feel like what the hell I've doing..lol blessings brother you look great keep doing this mess up videos the fun as hell lol
I enjoyed the video and I appreciated the comedy aspect of the video!!!
I still have my Logitech Z5500s, too.
Dude, they sell for like $1600 on Amazon now for a new in box set since they don't make them anymore. They are way better than the G906 but that's the best they got right now for consumer stuff.
PCs can come and go, but the Z5500s are forever.
Same here still using it since 2005 and the only thing i had to replace was a fuse. but the paint from the power button is kinda gone so i have pretty much a led button to push.
My led display backlight has gone really dark on mine. I might have to pry it open and see if there’s anything that can be fixed.
I still have mine as well... Absolutely love them.. got a hell of a deal 5 years ago for a NIB set for $250.
Glad to see good ol' Barnacules back and rockin'
A for effort, great to see you making videos man :)
After about 10 minutes I started to wonder how this could turn into a 33 minute repair. The next 23 minutes were well worth it to find the answer. Thank Budhaclese it all worked in the end, because the only emotion more intense than the relief of a working repair is the despair of having to take it apart again
This is absolutely ridiculous.
I love it.
Quite happy to hike a few miles up a mountain for the sheer hell of it and health, batteries for remote on other side of house? forget it, too far lol. That's probably how a lot of us think.
Next week, Jerry performs live brain surgery. Gets out the Gorilla super glue in preparation along with blutack, drawing pins(thumbtacks) zip ties and sellotape. Chainsaw is optional. To quote, "not the way to do things, it is A way".
Yep repairs like this can turn u into an electronic device serial killer lol kinda like the dudes from office space lol.
thank you Jerry for 33 minutes of laughing my ass of, please make more "jerryrig" ja,ja,ja,ja
XD So I'm not the only one using lots of super glue. Great to see you back on youtube.
Way too funny. The new comedy network. How much to Jerry rig my car?
