Sorry for the longish post but does anyone have any ideas about this before I contact support?
I bought a wireless squeezebox 3 in December and it has been working perfectly until last night. I was listening to an internet radio stream (through slimserver, not squeezenetwork) when the player made a pfft/buzz kind of noise and crashed and went blank. I needed to unplug it and plug it in again to get it to turn back on. I played the stream again and after about a minute it died again. Following another reboot I tried some mp3s instead and the same thing happened. Then I left it on for about half an hour doing nothing and it seemed fine, but as soon as I tried to play something that was it. After this it needed to be unplugged a couple of times to get it back on again. I thought at first it might be slimserver so I connected to squeezenetwork and tried the stream again and again it failed. Now after rebooting it would get as far as the logo on boot up before flickering and dying again. After a few more attempts I got it on and tried restoring factory settings, but the same thing kept happening. At this point it was getting very hard to even get it to turn on at all and when it did it would die after a few seconds. When I finally got it going I put it straight into standby and left it for the night. This morning it was still in standby, so I thought I would leave it on (but not playing) while I went to work, but after flicking through the menu for about 10 seconds it died again and I have not been able to get it to turn on since. I don't think it's just the display because the music would stop and slimserver cannot find it. I was going to try connecting it with wires but I've not had it stay on long enough to configure it that way and the rest of my network is working fine. I run slimserver on a dedicated machine in the spare room. The only strange thing was it originally crashed at the moment when I remote desktopped to the slimserver machine, but seeing as being connected the squeezenetwork does the same thing I'm sure it's a hardware problem. Slimserver itself seems to working fine with software players. I have tested the power supply with a meter and it seems to be OK. Has anyone else had anything similar happen? I get the feeling it's going to have to go back to get sorted. (System specs for the server are slimserver 6.2.1 on an old PIII 700ish, 512Mb RAM, 3 hard drives, WinXP SP1) -- DaveW ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DaveW's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6430 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25484 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
