To make a long story short, I cannot send in my Transporter for repair
due to my location and I'm going to have to do that
myself (with some external help) so anyone who could provide some
pointers would be great.
Here's the problem: When playing any tracks on the Transporter nothing
happens. The display on the Transporter shows the
track name but the track doesn't play, the progress bar doesn't move
and there's no output.
This is what I know so far:
1- The Transporter boots properly, "Logitech" and "Transporter" logos
come up, IP address acquired and connects to
Squeezecenter. There are no delays or any noticeable issues during boot
up.
2- There's a slight buzzing sound coming from the transformers/relays
area. After waiting 2 minutes 50 seconds (almost
exactly every time) there's a 'click' sound coming from the relays and
the buzzing stops.
3- In the squeezecenter information screen the voltage is reported at
49V while the 'buzzing' noise is on, after the buzzing
stops the voltage is reported correctly at 220V.
4- The digital output red 'light beam' is on which seems to indicate
that the digital output is working however as I do not
have any digital devices I cannot test it.
5- I have tried to reset to factory settings four times, no effect. I
have also tried to reset xilinx ("1" button) and re-
uploaded the firmware (press brightness) to no avail.
6- I also have a Squeezebox and it's working well so it rules out the
server issue (I think).
7- I have measured the power at multiple points on the transporter
board and all of them are correct (+15V, -15V, +5V, CPU
+5V...).
When trying to play a track, the music doesn't play (the progress bar
doesn't move) and there's no output. I use the balanced
analog output. The right display doesn't come up with the "vu meter"
while the voltage shows at 49V, after the 2 minutes the
vue meter shows up. The SqueezeCenter interface doesn't seem to detect
any problem as the 'play progress bar' moves normally
while playing and jumps to the next track without any problem.
At this point my best guess is that one of the relays is having a
problem however as there is a control logic to switch from
110V to 220V it could also be a CPU problem or any components on the
control path. The weird part is the fact that when the
power is properly reported at 220V after 2 minutes 50 seconds the sound
still doesn't work.
Anyway, anyone having any suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks in advance.
