After some delay (due mainly to house move), I want to take another look at this, in the hope of diagnosing and fixing. Can someone at least tell me how to get into (disassemble) the Radio? This isn't obvious, as there aren't any screws that I can find (and I don't want to pull off the rubber feet unnecessarily, to look for them). Living room: piCorePlayer, with USB to Marantz PM7005, TDL RTL3 speakers. Dining room: SB Boom. Kitchen: SB Radio 1/4 with battery. Bedroom 1: SB Radio 2/4 no battery, SB Radio 3/4 with battery. Bedroom 2: SB Touch, AE 2.1. speakers. Bathroom: SB Radio 4/4, white, with (and running on) battery. Unused 3: Slim Devices SB3, Logitech SB3. Server: LMS v7.9.2 on piCorePlayer on RPi 3. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Furry's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11328 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111204 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
