Can you describe this "growth"? Was it some kind of mold? Ick.
After re-assembly, the symptoms are slightly different. A song will
start to play fine but after a minute or two, the SB will reboot and
attempt to set itself up again. After it finds the network and
Slimserver, the whole damn cycle starts again. One other symptom is
that when the set-up routine starts, it sometimes skips past parts
which wouldn't be expected (such as entering the WEP key after a
couple
of key presses).
Is it possible that there's some kind of IR interference in the room
that's confusing the Squeezebox?
I suspect my SB but I haven't completely ruled out my wireless
modem/router, the wireless card in my PC or indeed the PC itself. I
changed the Motherboard just before the symptoms started, making me
consider some form of compatibility problem between the motherboard
and the wireless card, but the SB worked fine for over an hour (maybe
two) before the symptoms started and I don't appear to have any
trouble
with my wireless broadband connection.
Have you tried restarting your wireless router?
