A receiver (I think SB3, but don't know the difference between a 2 & 3) I have had for years has been balky for several months and now seems unable to connect to the network. I don't think I have the skills or the patience to troubleshoot and most likely replace the wifi card if necessary. A few months ago I added an RPi player just to see if I could do that. I did, and I have already ordered the necessary items to build another to replace this receiver.
*If for some reason I am unable to cobble another RPi player together, I may try to revive this receiver. I do not anticipate that being the case. Symptoms of the receiver: For several months whenever there was a power failure or a router re-boot, the receiver frequently had to be unplugged/re-plugged to re-establish the network connection while none of my other SB devices did. A couple of times the receiver required re-setting. Today there is no connection and pressing the button on the front has no effect that I can tell--no slow or fast flashing red lights no matter how long I hold the button. It does sometimes briefly flash red, white, or green, but never long enough for anything I try to have an effect. After searching here, I am guessing an issue with the network card. My life will be simpler if I can just put together another RPi player. However, if someone in the community thinks they can resurrect this receiver and put it to personal use, I am more than willing to ship it to them (unless * noted above occurs). Please PM me if interested. I am really too attached to these things to even think about dumping one in the trash. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TomAmes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=27792 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109277 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
