My SB3 recently developed a fault in that it now invariably crashes after a brief period of use (display goes blank and no sound). It is now out of warranty, and as this is now the third hardware fault I have had with this unit, I am inclined to bin it rather than pay for a further repair. However, I thought I would make some attempt to diagnose the problem first.
When this SB3 was repaired previously, the symptoms were exactly the same. On that occasion, the wireless card was found to be the cause and it was replaced. Based on a guess that I had the same issue again I replaced the wireless card myself, but this did not solve the problem. Removing the wireless card completely did not stop the crashes either, but the SB3 did run for considerably longer before doing so without the card in situ. Then I noticed that the CPU (IP3023) was running very hot. Holding a temperature probe against the CPU (i.e. not the best thermal contact), the probe read 100 degrees celcius after a few minutes. Is this normal (doubtful), or could this point to the root cause (a problem with the power circuitry feeding the CPU for example). Can anyone suggest where to look next ?
