If it was me, I would try to determine if the boom was dead or just the screen. Look at the LMS web interface, material screen, or iphone/android control pp (I use squeezecntrl), and see if the Boom is "seen" by LMS. Then, can you play something on it? Then you know the state of the boom/display. I have a boom with a dim display in my workshop in a somewhat inaccessible location. I use my phone and a duet controller to control it. I really don't use the screen except to glance at it to see what's playing. Jim PS - I am no expert on the switching power supplies, but I have seen bad supplies where you measure voltage unloaded, but when loaded the can't supply the needed current, or the voltage drops (i.e. can't supply the power). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Redrum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100006 _______________________________________________ Boom mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/boom
