A couple of weeks ago my ever-faithful Duet was nonresponsive when I
went to fire up my music. After investigating, the LED button on the
front was blinking red. We had a brief power outage the day before, so I
did as I've done many times over the years: I unplugged and replugged
the PSU to force a reboot. Only this time, I had a solid red LED which
then cycled through yellow and then -purple- (which isn't a defined
color and seemed "off"). The button on the front was nonresponsive, too.
I couldn't connect to the Duet with either the original controller or
iPeng either. After trying to reboot it a few more times, the LED
stopped showing any signs of life. 

Glad I found this thread (and remembered my Logitech forum login!) Even
though my symptoms didn't quite match anything I was reading online, it
seemed to have all the hallmarks of a failing/failed PSU. So I checked
Logitech's site (thanks for the link!) and discovered -- after nearly 5
years -- that they indeed are _still_ selling replacement PSUs for $15
and have stock! After receiving the new PSU and swapping out the US
prong plate, my Squeezebox was back up and running in about six seconds.


So this is to 1) say thanks, 2) add my troubleshooting details for
historical record, 3) confirm that as of December 2021 Logitech still
sell the replacement PSU in the US, and 4) to confirm that, indeed, the
paper pouch containing the PSU does appear to be new-old-stock that's
been sitting on a warehouse shelf for 10+ years (it was really yellowed
around the edges and the tape flap had seriously degraded)!
