I have no particular opinion. Can confirm, I've had two of these, one for a Classic, one for a Touch, both still going strong. :) 30695 +---+ |Filename: supply.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=30695| +---+ *Server - LMS 8.0.0 *Pi4B 4GB/Flirc case/pCP 6.1.0 18K library, playlists & LMS cache on SSD (ntfs) *Study -* Pi3B+/pCP 5.0.0/pi screen/HiFiBerry DAC+/jivelite, *Lounge* - Pi2/pCP 5.0.0 > HiFiBerry DIGI+ > AudioEngine DAC1 > AVI DM5 *Dining Room* - Squeezebox Boom *Garage* - Squeezebox Touch > Edifier R980T *Spares* - 1xTouch, 1xSB3, 1xRadio, 7xRPi kidstypike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10436 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112398 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] SB3 Switching PSU replacement. Opinons?
The usual scare, suddenly the SB3 stops working... Turns out the SB3 was not dead. Only its PSU had decided it was time to go. Years ago I had the same issue (on another unit), I got a PSU out of AMZN, supposedly "made for SB" and clearly it was not. More recently (for yet another unit) I made my own USB to barrel connector cable and used an USB power port available next to the SB3. Works fine. I'm contemplating my options, between: 1 - a USB-barrel cord + some redundant mobile/iThing charger 2 - a Raspberry Pi PSU (pretty good and inexpensive, IMHO) to which I would solder a barrel connector. AFAIK this PSU delivers 5.1V rather than 5.0V Do you have an opinion or a go-to solution for this? I'm only interested in a cheap and compact solution.

Ill be happy to give you one Thank you for the "new" display I finally took the plunge and replaced my 'bad display' (https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?109775-Squeezebox-Classic-(SB3)-Repair-Considerations=957767=1#post957767) yesterday. The replacement has been solid so far. JoeMuc2009's 'SB3 VFD replacement blog' (ttps://joes-tech-blog.blogspot.com/2016/09/logitech-slimdevices-squeezebox-classic.html) was an invaluable resource during the process. I did stumble at one point where the blog states. > The outer sets of three pins may be shorted. That's not a problem > because they have the same potential anyway. All of the other 12 pins > must not be shorted together.

Whereas pins 2 and 3 in the group of 12 are actually shorted in the display. 30693 Just something to be aware of as it took me a while to realize that I hadn't soldered the two pads together by mistake. Thanks to you both there's another SB3 saved. +---+ |Filename: 2016-09-06 09.47.15 IMG_1645.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=30693| +---+ Ralphy *1*-Touch, *5*-Classics, *3*-Booms, *1*-UE Radio 'Squeezebox client builds' (https://sourceforge.net/projects/lmsclients/files/) 'donations' (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations=LL5P6365KQEXN=CA_name=Squeezebox%20client%20builds_code=USD=PP%2dDonationsBF%3abtn_donate_SM%2egif%3aNonHosted) always appreciated. ralphy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3484 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109775 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
