Re: [slim] A Reminder: When your Squeezebox 3, Touch or *Boom* "stops working"...
I've had two Duet receiver power supplies fail over the last 12 years. The last time I had a failure I bought one of these 'cords' (https://www.amazon.com/YIKU-Universal-5-5x2-1mm-Charging-Connector/dp/B0825SD9ZM/ref=asc_df_B0825SD9ZM/?tag=hyprod-20=df0=416794793908==g=2008919480420400099c===9029699=pla-973096075837=1===95587149484===416794793908==g=2008919480420400099==c===9029699=pla-973096075837) and then I can just pick up another USB wall charger. I did have a wifi card in a receiver fail and that was also replaceable. Any time I need a player now days I just build up another PicorePlayer.

What's a "modem" boomer? :-D Kidding. Good point. My cable router is probably 4 years old. The previous one failed after about 5 years. So yeah. Point made. :-) My TV is also over 10 years old - it was a top Samsung 52inch LED model at the time and cost me dearly, so no need to upgrade it yet... but it'll probably blow out soon. Then again I have speakers that I have owned for nearly 30 years... and they still sound super sweet when I go through occasional rotations. ...pablo Server: Win10 and LMS 8.2.0 System: SB Touch --optical->- Benchmark DAC2HGC --AnalysisPlus Oval Copper XLR->- NAD M22 Power Amp --AnalysisPlus Black Mesh Oval->- KEF Reference 1 Other Rooms: 2x SB Boom; 1x SB Radio; 1x SB Classic-> NAD D7050 -> Totem DreamCatcher + Velodyne Minivee Sub Computer audio: workstation --USB->- audioengine D1 -> Grado RS1/Shure 1540 pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115091 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Switched power supply. Works like a charm. To me it has always been the darn power supplies. I wonder how many people have assumed their squeezeboxen are "dead" and acted drastically, when in fact it was just a failing power supply. ...pablo Server: Win10 and LMS 8.2.0 System: SB Touch --optical->- Benchmark DAC2HGC --AnalysisPlus Oval Copper XLR->- NAD M22 Power Amp --AnalysisPlus Black Mesh Oval->- KEF Reference 1 Other Rooms: 2x SB Boom; 1x SB Radio; 1x SB Classic-> NAD D7050 -> Totem DreamCatcher + Velodyne Minivee Sub Computer audio: workstation --USB->- audioengine D1 -> Grado RS1/Shure 1540 pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115078 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Juke - A roadside or rural establishment offering liquor, dancing, and often gambling and prostitution. Also called juke house, juke joint. Jukebox - The word "jukebox" came into use in the United States beginning in 1940, apparently derived from the familiar usage "juke joint", derived from the Gullah word "juke" or "joog", meaning disorderly, rowdy, or wicked. As it applies to the 'use of a jukebox', the terms juking (verb) and juker (noun) are the correct expressions.

[slim] A Reminder: When your Squeezebox 3, Touch or *Boom* "stops working"...
..at least for me it is the dang Logitech power supplies every friggin' time. So don't assume the box broke. I am lucky enough to have several of them around so can easily test with other power supplies. And... voila!... it's fixed it every time. Never had another issue with the stable of Squeezeboxen I have... about 5 S3s, 2 Touches, 4 Booms, 1 Radio, 1 Duet. Always the power supply. I can't recall worse power supply quality in any other product, but in all fairness I am not sure I have any other piece of electronics in the house that I still use every day after 15 years or so... ...pablo Server: Win10 and LMS 8.2.0 System: SB Touch --optical->- Benchmark DAC2HGC --AnalysisPlus Oval Copper XLR->- NAD M22 Power Amp --AnalysisPlus Black Mesh Oval->- KEF Reference 1 Other Rooms: 2x SB Boom; 1x SB Radio; 1x SB Classic-> NAD D7050 -> Totem DreamCatcher + Velodyne Minivee Sub Computer audio: workstation --USB->- audioengine D1 -> Grado RS1/Shure 1540 pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115091 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
