Well, replaced the card...and...NOTHING! Took the card out and wired it
directly. Works like a charm. There were two connections that one the
old card said MAIN and AUX. I connected those on the new card (TP-Link
TL-WN360G 802.11g 54M 54 Mbps Wireless Internet G Wi-Fi Mini PCI LAN
Card) both ways
I took the card out, wired it, and, of course, it worked. A sigh of
relief to know that it's just the Wi-Fi card. As usual, the Community
has come through again. I have ordered the card and will let everyone
know how it works out. Thank you all!!

Right. Or taking it out and leaving it out (or

too far away to keep it wired, so I'm going to attempt to replace the
card. I saw one on Amazon. Wish me luck.

Did you try at least operating it with the card out? I would suggest
doing that before going thru the hassle of getting a replacement. I
understand your setup requires this to be wireless, but you should be
able to verify the SB3 starts up ok without the wifi card.

First, are you sure the brightness isn't all the way down, so it just
looks like it's not turning on?
If that's not the case, you might try removing the wifi card inside.
It seems to be a common failure. Sometimes it can just be re-seated,
but usually it's a failed card. It's at least worth a
I'd try checking out the power supply as well. Maybe the wall wart
power device has gone bad and can be replaced.
How you would go about checking this, absent another SB3, I have no
idea.
When it is plugged in do you see a red light coming from the Optical
