In my experience over the years, it has ALWAYS been the Power Supply
Units. I have bought probably 10 - 15 [ we have over 20 players of
sorts]. I only ever had one unit fail (a touch screen, replaced under
warranty). You will get 5v under no load, but when the PSU fails it
won't supply the
Also, make sure you measure the PSU when under load. It may show a good
voltage when it isn't driving anything but could drop way down when
requested to actually do what it's supposed to, supply power. I recently
replaced my PSU, it delivered an OK voltage when disconnected, but fell
below 3V
thanks, BPA, I'll try it.

A common fault with SB2 is WLAN card dying and this will prevent SB3
from booting. If PSU is OKish - then red led seen in digitalport.
SB3 can work without an WLAN card so you could open your SB3 (needs a
torx screwdriver) and remove the WLAN card and then see if the unit
boots.
