Same here - I feared I'd need to replace the encoder, but it turned out to be much easier.
This morning, I decided to fix my microwave, which had a non-working encoder. I'd always assumed it was optical, but a Youtube clip suggested it was physical and that opening up the encoder and cleaning it would fix things. Unfortunately, it wasn't possible to open the encoder, so I simply sprayed Servisol contact cleaner on it, rotated the shaft, cleaned, and re-assembled - all fully working. Emboldened by this, I went to attack my Squeezebox Radio this afternoon. Discovered that I didn't even need to disassemble it, I simply pulled off the volument knob, sprayed, rotated, cleaned, replaced knob. All now fab - let's see if it's a long lasting fix. I get the impression that quite a few items like this have grease applied to some moving parts that, with age, migrates to the contacts, attracts crud, and stops them working. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AlecSp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105000 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
