The two common and easily remedied issues are:
1) Reseat or remove the wifi card;
2) Replace the power supply.
Not that your symptoms are necessarily indicative of those problems but
it can't hurt to try.
I'll have to look for a power supply that isn't suspect,
Sorry to hear about that. Do you get any red glow on the back side of
the SB3 (I think that's the optical output)? Do you have another power
supply you could use to test whether it's the power supply or the SB3
itself? (make sure is PS is the right voltage, amperage, and polarity)
If you're sure
Definitely out of warranty. I do get the red glow from the optical
output, so I know its getting power.
Good tip on the $90 fix. That's much cheaper than rebuying if it comes
to that.

Same thing happened to me 2 months ago - 2 week turnaround and had the
unit back - they replaced the whole motherboard - good deal for $90.

If you bought the SB3 on a credit card, many credit cards extend the
original warranty for up to a year. You might want to check to see if
you are covered.
E.g.:

I'm almost positive this is long out of warranty, but I'll check anyway.
Won't hurt!

The warranty on Squeezebox Classic is now two year years. That's good
even if your manual says one.
You bought it more then two years ago?

I moved my SB3 from my home to my office and now its completely dead. I
tried a hard reset (hold down + on the remote while plugging in).
Nothing.
Anything else I can try or am I out of luck?

Update: My repaired SB3 has returned home from Slim Devices and is
working perfectly again.
The root cause was that the CPU board came loose from the main board,
so they added extra adhesive to prevent that from happening again.
Thanks all for your T/S help, but I guess it was a hard failure.

The test - I think - to see if unit is not Dead: unplug and plug in
again. If you do, there is a splash screen that says Slim Devices and
then Squeezebox 3. If this does not happen, I guess there is a
different problem (with power socket, plug or SB3 unit).

Please help me understand why that would have an impact?
It might; but you would still see the boot-up screen
