I have 2 squeezebox touch. One of them stopped responding to the remote. Using the same remote only one of them responded. I switched units and found out the problem wasn't the remote or the unit, it was the power adapter. I replaced with a very cheap one from aliexpress and problem fixed!

Today I found that one of my beloved Squeezebox Touch units was no longer responding to IR from remotes. Upon further investigation, I learned that it will respond but only at short range (under 10'). Is this something that happens with these units, and can it be repaired? Thanks.
