Hi there, I would guess that trying a new power supply is a sensible first step. They are the most frequent failure point and a power outage is often the point where they no longer get to their feet because of the startup stress that they haven't had in a long time of constantly being powered. However, I cannot guarantee you that this is all you need to do. If the SB3 still fails with the new PSU, it's likely that the situation is similar inside it, i.e. capacitors needed for a clean startup and to filter ripple are no longer able to do their job and cause the system to be unstable or even unable to boot at all. Replacement of the internal SMD capacitors is my step #2 in this situation usually. I hate to give you more worries but eventually it could be CPU death which is not recoverable no matter what. All we can do is hope that it's only one or both of the other two options mentioned. Let me know if you need more detail or advice. If you are inside EU, you might consider sending me the unit to Germany for a full diagnosis (free of charge). I'm in good training regarding the replacement of SMD capacitors and testing power supplies. I could not cure CPU death but a lot of other issues.

I haven't been able to find something that can replace it in the same price range. I could never bring myself to cough up for a Transporter. The DAC is very good for the money. I have wandered off into Raspberry Pi territory, imagining a basic Pi with a suitable DAC with phono, or possibly digital fibre output, but I could never decide on one implementation or the other. Another summary of my situation: SB3 with no Wifi and no remote control, but a working ethernet connection. It has a fixed IP of 192.168.2.10. No way to perform a factory reset. I already have a Pi acting as a Kodi box, running LibreElec, which is configured to use WiFi to talk to my iMac to get stuff to play. There are Kodi plugins to have the Pi act as either a LMS or squeezebox web controller. I did manage to connect the Pi to the SB3's ethernet port, but because of the way LibreElec works, if it detects a connected ethernet port, it will try to use that and doesn't time out to fall back on the WiFi interface. This makes reboots more complicated than they need to be. I suppose I could ask the LibreElec devs to consider implementing another feature, or I could use another OS variant for the OS that does support this. In general, I think Kodi sucks as a user interface, so I don't want to have to mess around finding another implementation of Kodi that will do as I want. I haven't worked out how to configure my home internet DSL modem to pick up 192.168.2.0 and route the data (maybe I should contact their support). I also haven't worked out how to get this modem to play nicely with my Netgear WNDR3700s (v1 and v4), running dd-wrt, to act as WiFi repeaters for the modem (I can do it via an ethernet cable, but that is not useful to me at the moment). Even if I got all that to work, it seems ridiculous to have to do all that in the first place, just because I can't change the configured IP address on the SB3. And I really like my SB3.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Classic (SB3) Repair Considerations
Hi there, sorry, better forget about that multimeter test. A lot of people fall for this. If you measure the voltage of the unloaded PSU, you will probably find that it delivers 5V as it should. But that does not mean everything is all right. The problem is that a multimeter does not draw any current. To measure it correctly you have to apply an electronic load, and measure the current in that specific situation. A configurable battery tester such as I am demonstrating in my blog (https://joes-tech-blog.blogspot.com/2018/11/logitech-slimdevices-squeezebox-classic.html, approximately in the middle of the page) will create a defined amperage and show you what voltage is delivered under this load. It should not collapse below 4.8V at 2A. This can't be done by hooking up just a multimeter. As these power supplies are dirt cheap nowadays, I would recommend you to just buy a new one. The original PSUs are practically all dead by now after 10-12 years of constant service so this investment is probably not in vain. Be careful about the polarity though, the inside connection is positive and the outside sleeve must be negative. You can choose one for more than 2 Ampères but be sure it's constant 5V DC and no other voltage. The barrel jack is 5.5mm outside and (typically) 2.1mm inside diameter. 2.35mm might also fit, I don't know about the 5.5/2.5mm variant though. You can find tons of more info on this matter in the blog page mentioned above. Cheers, Joe PN me if your Boom / Classic / Transporter display has issues!

Together with this and the apparently broken internal IR sensor, I am starting to think it is a PSU problem. The problems with the unit started after I moved from UK to CH. I can't find the original UK PSU, so I can't remember if the problems happened using that PSU (with a plug converter) or if I was using the PSU I have now. To check the PSU, I broke out my long-unused multimeter, which refused to turn on. I looked on the back of the unit and was surprised to see it needed batteries :). I opened it up and swapped over the mildly corroded button batteries, which breathed some life into the tester. But it seems to be over reading voltage by a factor of 3 - 4, both for an eneloop (rated 1.2V) and for the PSU I have. So my shopping list now is 2 x G13-A CNB (which seems to be some variant of LR44) (1.5V) - for the multimeter 1 x PSU 5V/ 2A o/p (linear?) - for the SB3 Checking www.conrad.ch...

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Classic (SB3) Repair Considerations
These Wi-Fi boards are harder to get. At eBay, I found two offerings which are both from China. Might be problematic but I'm not sure. This the link to one of them: https://ebay.us/PdmjPl AR2413 is the chip that needs to be on the card because it's the only one the Squeezebox firmware supports. It is also important that you use the MiniPCI variant, avoid the ones for MiniPCI-e / MiniPCI-x and/or "half size". They are incompatible. There are only very few different models with AR2413 and classic MiniPCI. Compared to the PC world, MiniPCI is the analogy of PCI whereas MiniPCI-e or -x is for PCI-express so it's more modern and electrically a different design. I think that MiniPCI Wi-Fi boards may have been used in older notebooks, too. So it's rather generic, not something specifically designed for Squeezeboxes. I have only ever seen three different ones that fit. Sorry, could only find two in my collection right now: 32590 32591 A peek under the hood reveals that the PCB layout is mostly identical in both. Main differences are in the power supply sections. The blue one features a useful silk screen whereas the green one seems to be from Apple :rolleyes: 32592 A closeup of the chip in question: 32593 Which also sorts out the myth about AR2431 and AR2413. It's clearly AR2413 as we can see here. I confused this myself in my blog and just went and corrected it. Pity! But it really needs to pop the shields and look closely. I guess the stickers on the backof the cards are more helpful than what is in the front-side silk screen for finding anything similar on the market. I remember purchasing a pack of 10 of these blue cards for around 20 EUR. But that was years ago. For comparison, here is a MiniPCI-x half-length card that _won't_fit_ even if the chip used is the same: 32589 The size of these cards is only about 1/3 to 1/4 of the one we need, and the card-edge connector is totally different. If you can get a hold of the blue model, that's definitely the newer one and a better design in my opinion. For instance, it does not need that hefty voltage regulator that the old card has which spreads a lot of heat, i.e. is wasting energy. Hope this helped a bit.

With respect to the above quoted issues... First make sure you have removed the failed wifi card even if ethernet port is configured for use a failed wifi card can cause problems and second, for the remote receiver issues, try a new PSU, it's fairly common for a failing PSU to cause issues with the IR receiver (actually seen this myself with my SB Touch).

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Classic (SB3) Repair Considerations
Maybe it's time to throw in the towel for my SB3? I tried to resurrect it today. The WiFi card died many years ago. It fell into disuse after the WiFi died, because my apartment didn't have ethernet cables in the walls to where cable modem was. Now my main cable modem is less than a metre away. I can't do a factory reset, because it won't respond to the remote control. I think the remote works because if I point my mobile phone's camera at the remote and press buttons, I see a light. Net::UDAP's udap_shell.pl discover was unsuccessful, but I understand it only works if the SB3 is factory reset. See above for why I can't do that. I connected the SB3 to the ethernet port of my iMac and with arp I can see it has an IP address in a range I was using in the past. ? (192.168.10.10) at 0:4:20:7:1c:79 on en0 ifscope [ethernet] LMS runs on my iMac and binds to the hostname IP port 9000, rather than *:9000. Grrr! Is there a way to factory reset without a remote? Is there a way to get the SB3 to use DHCP? How much is a replacement WiFi daughter board? How involved is checking and then replacing the IR diode? Do any of the Kodi plugins for squeezebox allow me to reconfigure the SB3?

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Classic (SB3) Repair Considerations
So after building a piCorePlayer with the 'RaspTouch' (https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/boitiers-diy-boitiers-divers/rasptouch-chassis-accessories-and-touchscreen-7-kit-diy-black-p-11250.html) chassis (very nice, but costly), I moved the SBT from the living room to replace the "broken" SB3 in the bed room. Well, it turns out that blasting the amps remote didn't work either. Either there's an issue with RC5 codes, my hardware documentation is entirely wrong (doubtful, got it from the hardware support engineer of the manufacturer) or this amp has an IR sensor that needs REALLY bright LEDs. The amp's remote works fine and is quite bright when viewed with an IR-sensing smart phone. The IR blaster LEDs connect to the squeezebox barely show up on the phone, but work fine when glued to the sensor of the other amp in the living room. Oh well. Now I've got a spare SB3 that's working fine, but still no IR for that pesky amplifier. Reasonable offers for the SB3 are welcome (postage outside of Europe is probably prohibitive, though). pputzer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36842 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109775 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

When that happened, the blaster did not work. I initially thought the diode/blaster was bad or my IR codes were wrong, so I bought a new one. That does not work either, though.

I was actually hoping somebody else with more IR Blaster experience would answer. I have not used IR Blaster myself yet but would advise you to check these steps: - did IR Blaster work previously? How did it stop? Did it become more and more unreliable, or did it fail at one point? - if you are trying to set it up for the first time, did you ensure the polarity and connections on the headphone jack are correct with respect to the IR diode? - if you point your smartphone's camera (in video mode), or any video camera, towards the IR emitter diode, do you see faint purple flashes while IR commands are being sent? (please compare to a known-working IR remote control to verify your camera is picking up the infrared light) - does the headphone jack of your SB3 work properly when being used as a regular headphone output? If the left channel is missing, that would be the same pin that drives the IR diode... Hope this might help you a bit. Cheers, Joe PN me if your Boom / Classic / Transporter display has issues!

It's not just the display that goes dark? Does playback cut off in the middle of playing? Because it's a huge difference between a SB that crashes and one that fails to power its display whereas anything else is fine. The display power circuitry might have issues similar to the Boom. However, the fix that I have found for the Boom circuitry does not work properly in the Classic. I never had any Classic with this sort of failure though, so there are no advice yet.
