Sorry to say we other squeezebox user tend drive the price up on the
used market .
Suitable replacement is Squeezebox Touch Squeezebox 3 (the exact
same machine as Squeezebox Classic but made before Logitech takeover
and branded slimdevices ) Squeezebox 2 the exact same design as SB3

My remaining question is: should I still try opening it up to check on
the wireless card? This seems more like a PSU/capacitor issue, so unless
someone else has experienced something similar and found that removing
the wireless card helps, I don't think I want to go out and by

Alas, I don't have a voltmeter laying around the house, nor do I have a
spare Squeezebox of any form available to me. Thanks for the
suggestions, though.
My SB3 has recently been crashing (going to pure black screen, not
responding to any commands) somewhat frequently, even when it's just
sitting in screensaver mode, running SuperDateTime. If I unplug the
power and plug it back in, I can force a reboot, after which it runs
normally for about 10-12
Best guess for the most common two culprits:
1. PSU: failing or lose connection, jiggle the input on SB3 see if it
induces reboot
2. WiFi card: open SB3, remove WiFi card, run it on wired only for
test, might just need WiFi card re-seated properly
Does it crash if it plays instead of being off? Does it crash on wifi
and Ethernet the same way? Are you using DHCP, and if so can you change
the lease time and see if the symptom occurs at a different frequency?
(Same questions about the server)
An SB is not made to crash ;) usually when I see
Thanks for the responses. I'll check how tight the power connection is
next time I try, but I'm not sure if I have the right screwdriver to
take apart the SB3 to check the wireless card.
I'm not using DHCP, but I am currently using wireless. I'll try
switching over to a wired connection to see
These are torx screws. Size T6 ?

UPDATE: As of this evening, the Squeezebox won't power on at all. I've
tried unplugging it and plugging it back in, and I've jiggled the cord
around in a variety of ways to see if it helped, but no such luck. No
matter what I do, nothing will come up on screen; it appears to be
completely dead.

I really wish they were still making the SB3s; I love the simple,
minimalist design and the low-light screen. Can someone with a Touch
chime in on whether they think it'd be worth picking one up, even with
Logitech discontinuing support?
I love the SB3, too. Just buy one on
A sure sign of it's demise , if there is no light from the toslink
