My deepest condolences to Philipb, a SB3 dying so young is hopefully not the standard. Of course, as an electronic technician I'm used to see faulty equipment everyday, but a low power consuming device like the SB3 is not normally the victim of the usual heat damages or dried out capacitors you normally see. But anyway, the SB3 has a high voltage power circuitry for the VFD,so my first guess would be that the fault is located somewhere around that, but as the SB3 goes out of production, it would suit Logitech to publish a circuit diagram, so the remaining owners had a chance to keep their "old" equipment alive.
Just for fun, I'm the proud owner of a 25 year old Sansui amplifier, a 15 year old Technics vinyl player and several other vintage stuff, but if it is made properly and there is somebody out there with a circuit diagram who can fix it, it will probably last you a lifetime. -- bebop Regards Bebop SC 7.3.x on Ubuntu 8.02(on old Dell D600 laptop), Duet SBC&SBR + Boom1 + Boom2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bebop's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17061 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71324 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
