hello again (3 months later)
I had my speaker repaired by a guy. it turned out that the whole transformer part (im not technical, I type what I remember he told me) was fried. He had to find a new one somewhere, he did.
So if anyone looks for a similar problem as described in the thread, this could be the reason your speaker is not working anymore. You connected a 110 volts to a 200 plug. Lessons cost money, I paid mine :-)

On another subject, where was that video that helped me dismantle the speaker? I need to re-assemble it back. The foam around the frame was pulverized but I hope it will allow the speaker to still work. Im not such a hifi guy, I got it 20 years ago because I could purchase it for a reasonable price. And sounds good :-)
thanks

PS, I found the video, here for reff
