Reviving a dead thread because I just opened up my eight-year-old bought-direct-from-SlimDevices Squeezebox 3 and I wanted to correct the assumptions. Mine has never been serviced and has that same whitish residue, so it's not an indicator of previous service. Unfortunately, I opened mine up because after eight years of working great it started spontaneously rebooting over the weekend, and then was about 5-10 seconds out of sync from my other SqueezeDevices (a Touch and a Radio) when it came back up. Tried re-seating everything in a forlorn hope of fixing it, but it's still constantly rebooting, so I guess I either suck it up and buy a Touch for $600 or think about replacing my whole system with a Sonos system. I'm genuinely sorry to have it die like this, since it's really been a joy to use over its lifetime; I guess I can't really complain, though, when I figure how much use I got out of it over an eight-year period. Well, I guess I could complain that Logitech didn't continue to support the product line, or sell it to someone who wanted to try competing with Sonos. ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Evan_E's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11841 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97577 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
