[slim] Squeezebox in coma/dead?

Good morning and best wishes. I've just sent following msg to Logitech support, but would appreciate any input from the forum: I've been using an old, but adequate Squeezebox (1) for a few years now. Yesterday I installed Squeezecenter on another laptop, did the usual database building etc.
