Hi, Getting really frustrated now. Don't know what to do...
I've got two SB1s - one in the lounge hooked up to hifi etc. the second in the bedroom connected to a pair of powered "computer" speakers, acting as a bedside table radio-alarm clock. The set-up in the bedroom is producing a really annoying hum - especially as the speakers are 6 inches from my ear!! I have tried: - alternate speakers - alternate squeezebox - plugging in to headphone jack / phono sockets - pluggng squeezebox in to separate mains spurs/rings (a downstairs one and the cooker one in the kitchen) - a ground loop isolator - an alternate power supply (from a Ipaq, same rating, 5v 2A as the supplied one) None of the above made any discernable difference. I finally tried a third power supply (this time from an Iomega external zip drive) which was only rated 5v 1A. This worked! But only for 3 months... this weekend the SB started rebooting a lot (esp when selecting max brightness), then the display started flickering, then it simply would boot at all. Swapped back for the other power supply - works fine, but the hum is back. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! :-( I assume that the SB draws more than an amp and so has knackered the p/s. What do I do now? I love the SB, and it makes a great bedside alarm clock, but I just can't sleep with the hum. The hum isn't affected by the volume on the speakers, gets a lot worse if only one channel is connected (using the phonos)?!? and is really quite audible - it can be heard the other side of the room, not just when I'm lying next to it. Hmmm. (no pun intended ;-) What do I do now?? Thanks for any suggestions - sorry for the long windedness. cheers Rob _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
