Hi all! Just purchased a used Squeezebox Touch on UK eBay advertised as "in excellent condition, with original box & all accessories". Unfortunately the power supply has a fault (sprayed all contacts with electrical contact cleaner twice to no effect). Logitech themselves still have new ones in their parts store, but since they're charging £20 + £9.95 shipping I'm not surprised that they haven't sold out yet!
I've trawled t'interweb & eBay for genuine Logitech Touch power supplies with no hits. I've contacted the seller and offered him two options: firstly that he refunds me £29.95 to buy the replacement from Logitech; and secondly that I return the complete unit for a full refund including outward & return postage (on the grounds that the goods are not as described). Of course he'll still have a unit without a working power supply, and won't get as much on resale if he buys a third-party unit. He's adamant that it worked fine at his end (which is ultimately irrelevant) but has immediately offered to refund me £15. I politely declined, but offered to see if anyone who has gone linear PS or, God forbid, suffered Touch failure in the Community might have a surplus genuine Logitech switching power supply delivering 5V 3A through a Ferrite/Choke to a 2.5mm power plug that they would be prepared to sell me, delivered to UK, for less than Logitech's admittedly extortionate price. I'm just a nice guy really, but if this doesn't work & he doesn't divvy-up the £29-95, he's getting the whole package & the problem back. Business is business, after all. Maybe he'll do his sums properly in the meantime! So, do I have any offers? I'm expecting a substantially lower price than Logitech's since their items are at least new... Best regards, Dave :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Golden Earring's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107112
