Just an advisory to anyone looking on ebay for good deals on used Squeezeboxen.
I bought one last week advertised as being in working condition. And it does work, sort of. It's a demo unit. It powers up when you plug it in, but all it does is run a demo from the firmware. It can't function as a regular unit, won't respond to the remote and apparently can't be re-flashed to a regular unit. Again, the ebay reseller may not realize that it isn't functioning normally because it powers up, the Toslink lights up and the screen works, shows the logo etc. This has happened to at least one other person on this forum (search for 'starting demo') to find that thread. So if you do try to get a good deal on ebay you may want to make sure with the seller that it doesn't display 'starting demo' when they plug it in.
