Ordered everything to build a new receiver, but I have another update after @Mnyb (Thanks) prompted me not to completely give up. Went back and re-read the thread I referenced above and went through the steps that were outlined with one extra power cycle of the receiver at the 3rd to last step.

Got the new card and installed. Same slow red blink error. I'm ordering the Pi and building a receiver. When I get to my other receiver I'll try that power supply and see if that's the issue. Since all lights blink I'm skeptical. Main system - Rock Solid with LMS 7.9 on WHS 2011 - 2 Duets and S

Problem with the reciever is that it will not pass the booth sequence without a functioning wifi card. Soo you cant just rip it out like in an SB2/3 these where sold w/o wifi so they are made to function without it. Main hifi

Thanks @bpa. I went ahead and ordered the card. I'll let you all know if it works. If it doesn't I'll build me a PiCorePlayer to replace the receiver. Main system - Rock Solid with LMS 7.9 on WHS 2011 - 2 Duets and Squeeseslave Portable system - Rock solid with LMS 7.9 on Win10 Pro - 1 Duet and

My rule of thumb is make sure the layout of component on the card are similar. It look similar to the WLAN cards I have. Below is a thread which I started when looking for compatible WLAN cards http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?95513-Compatible-WLAN-cards-for-SB3-Boom-Reciever-amp-Tra

Okay, haven't quite given up. My other receiver is 350 miles away so I can't test the power supply swap, but I don't think the power supply is the issue. I found this in a thread here from 4 years ago. http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?98247-Help-in-confirming-a-possibly-dead-squeezebo

If you have another receiver, swap the power supply. I had two power supplies go bad in the last 6 months, same symptoms. a compatible replacement can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZJA1RX0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 2 Duets controllers, 1 X Boom, 1 X Radio

Given the amount of SB2/SB3 problems that can be traced to power supplies going bad, I guess it would be worth having a look at that. I know it isn't the same type of supply, but power supplies in general are pretty short lived these days.
