Perhaps I spoke a bit too soon. After waiting approximately 5-10 minutes, the Radio finally does boot, after rebooting many times in between. But, other problems still persist.
Most notably, the Radio is VERY sluggish. Every button press or knob turn takes 2-3 seconds to register. Yes, it takes 2-3 seconds just to adjust the volume 1 notch. Also, when I am able to manage to open a station, the first several seconds of audio are mixed with static/white noise, then the audio eventually drops altogther. It feels like the processor is pegged, leaving nothing to process any input. copperstate;583024 Wrote: > According to Logitech you have to unplug it first: > > Reset by powering off: > > Unplug your Squeezebox Radio. > > Press the More button while simultaneously plugging your Squeezebox > Radio back in. > > You should see the following message: > > Factory Settings Restored > ... > Thanks for the instuctions. I definitely missed the part about unplugging, THEN holding the "More" button, and finally plugging back in. I have confirmed these steps work. What has puzzled me is that the factory resets do not seem to be doing any significant "resetting". After a successful reset, the firmware is still the same. The preset buttons are all still mapped to the same stations. And it has remembered my squeezebox login and password. The only thing it does is prompt for language (English) and wireless network settings. Once I finish those steps, I'm back to the same sluggish home screen. I will say that during the reset process, the buttons and knobs are running normally -- no delay on input whatsoever. So, it really does point to something wrong with the regular software, since the factory reset mode kicks in before the rogue process(es) eat up my processor and cause the slow response time. copperstate;583024 Wrote: > If you have SSH access enabled it may also help to delete the > /var/log/messages file as the Radio sometimes seems to run out of > memory during startup. Neat! I didn't know you could SSH into the unit. I had to patiently make my way through the slow menus to enable it, but once it was turned on, I could SSH with no problems. My messages log was only 50 Kb, so I don't think it is the culprit. I moved it to messages.old just in case. I see a new messages log has been started. earthbased;583048 Wrote: > There was a firmware update I got recently. Maybe that caused your > problem when update didn't complete. At this point, I have nothing else to blame but software. So, perhaps I was screwed by the firmware update. I am running 7.5.1 r9009. I really appreciate the input and timely responses. At this point, I think I'd rather have the unit properly serviced, and have initiated this via email to Logitech Support. However, I do welcome any further ideas from the community.
