Hopefully, it's just the screen. If you enable logging you might see
the protocol negotiation with the player. Without being able to
establish a connection with the server, this might be your only evidence
that the device is alive. Go to Settings > Advanced > Logging, and
setting network.protocol.slimproto to 'Debug'.
Forget trying to set it up using wireless. Too many steps to go
through blind and you'll never enter the wireless password correctly.
You'll have to use ethernet and make sure you have DHCP working on your
network.
Try the following. It's worth a shot, anyway. Tested on an SB2, which
uses the same firmware as the Classic. I was actually able to walk
through the process with the display covered up.
- Plug in the ethernet cable and pull out the power plug.
- Do a factory reset. Point the remote at the display while pressing
the ADD ("+") button. Plug in the power plug and count to 7, then
release the ADD button on the remote.
- Welcome to Squeezebox. Wait 15 seconds and it will push right by
itself.
- Language selection. Press right-arrow to select English.
- Set up networking. Press right-arrow.
- Choose wireless or ethernet. Press down-arrow once, then
right-arrow for ethernet.
- IP address. Press right-arrow to choose DHCP.
- Wait 30 seconds. Press right-arrow to select your SqueezeCenter
server that (hopefully) it will have found.
The timing isn't really critical. For the factory setup you have to
hold the button pressed for (I'm guessing) at least 5 seconds, but if
you hold it too long you end up forcing another factory reset after it
reboots. The 15 seconds just means wait at least 15 seconds. DHCP
negotiation usually takes only a few seconds, but I've sometimes seen it
take 10-20 seconds on my network.
Factory reset, right, right, down, right, right, right.
Good luck.
