I agree that it is probably not a firmware issue. I also see that the
reset and xilinx reset do not clear out all previous settings. It is
very possible that some setting is creating my issue and I was trying to
revert to earlier firmware in hopes of returning to a clean slate.
So far I have:
- Factory reset (+) and xilinx reset (1) several time and in different
orders.
- Put LMS 7.5.5 on my PC so that I could revert to firmware 84. No
luck with 84 nor with going back to 87.
- Put SqueezeCenter 7.0.1 to 'update' the firmware to 37. No luck but
observed that it puts Player Port Number to 26024 rather than expected
9000. Pushed some music from server: Correct title appeared on
Transporter but time stuck at 0:00 while the server played from 0:00
to 0:08 and looped back continuously. At least the server seemed to
also recognize something wrong.
- Tried connecting to mysqueezebox.com, my own server on a Synology
NAS, and my own server on my PC.
- Tried digital input through RCA from a working Touch to see if it
was the DAC. (Confirmed this setup by successfully doing the same with
my working Transporter.)
- Tried with and without the WiFi board. I generally use Ethernet if I
can.
- The three LED's on the motherboard are a constant red and the 4th
LED blinks with remote inputs.
- I see a lot of ground 'Test Points' on the motherboard but a few
voltage 'Test Points.' At the big 5 hole points I got MCLK=3.292,
5V=5.01, -15=-15.05, +15=15.05. There are some little test points
where I got 1V37=1.375 and 3v3=3.293, 3.298 & 3.3 at three spots. So I
think that the power is healthy in general.
- Just selected an internet radio station from mysqueezebox.com. The
display on the Transporter said that the station was buffering. At the
end of buffering the time stays at 0:00 and no sound.
- Turned off and on the RSS News Ticker. It scrolls current news just
fine. The RSS Plays!
- I see that all the boards are Rohs compliant. For example, the
change away from lead solder has put many TVs on the scrap heap from
dendritic whiskers (usually Tin alloys,) which jump across tightly
spaced PCB traces. (Lead is bad but the increase in electronics waste
in all the landfills isn't good for the environment either.)
I wrote to Johannes Franke and I agree with him that it seems like it
could be a setting issue. However installing old firmware and playing
with all of the settings I could find doesn't seem to help. With the
display showing accurately what should be going on, could it be
something electronic in some small localized area?
