[slim] SB3 spontaneously reboots

2013-01-20 Thread ulvi
My 7 year old SB3 started to reboot randomly in the middle of playing a track. Right now this happens every few minutes during playback, but never when idle. A Google search appears to show this has been a common problem with SB3s going back a few years. I tried the standard xilinx/factory resets

Thanks for the tip on the wifi card. I've no idea if I messed with the correct one or not, but the small daughter card on top - I pressed it to make sure it was on ok - it didn't seem to move, but it appears to have done the trick. One SB2, no longer Dead :) CHeers all James

I would not swap a perfectly OK HD just because of age. Usually crashes happen the first few weeks. In case you have several backups (you should have anyway) no need for action. YMMV :) michel's Profile:

Michael you may well be right on that. Frankly I have yet to have a Hard Drive fail before it gets too small for my data. However I ended up buying a WD Black 4TB monster and have transfered my music to it. This gives me a great deal of room to add music and a new(old) back up drive.
