[slim] Help! My Transporter's broken!
First off, if this should be in a different forum - please move. Here's the skinny. I have a Transporter, and it won't play back music. It will connect to the network, then connect to the server, and then I can browse the music library, but when I select something to play, it just stops. Looks like it's gonna play, but no sound comes out, and the music doesn't advance. There's no visualization either. The crux of the problem: the Transporter is reporting 49 volts (instead of 110-120.) I've swapped power cords, tried different outlets, etc, and still get only 49 volts. I'm nervous about opening up the unit, but I think I'm at that point. My questions are: -Is anyone familiar with this problem (49 volts, music won't play back)? -Is there a way to return the unit for repair (considering it's discontinued)? -What should my next course of action be? Any help or suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated! I bought this thing when I was single and foolish, and will be disappointed if it's turned into a boat anchor. -- flattop100 ---- flattop100's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81874 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Help! My Transporter's broken!
Thanks for the suggestion - unfortunately, it didn't change anything. I also tried a factory reset to no avail. I think my next step is to open it up *gulp*. Any other ideas? Is there anyone on the forums who has modified or repaired their Transporter? A little guidance would be really appreciated! -- flattop100 flattop100's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81874 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Help! My Transporter's broken!
Thanks for the suggestions - I haven't tried the "web-based" music sources yet (Pandora, etc)., but I installed the latest Squeezebox Server on top of Ubuntu 10.10 (whole different environment than my 'normal' music server). The result is the same issue - Transporter sees the music file, queues it up, but doesn't actually play. After trying multiple cords and outlets, I'm still getting the "49 volts" issue. Is there a way to force Transporter to reflash the firmware? Gizek, you mentioned trying a nightly with the new firmware...do you mean a nightly of the server software? Where can I get that? Thanks again. -- flattop100 ---- flattop100's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81874 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Wow, I'm glad I missed most of this thread. You folks can be pretty snarky. -- flattop100 flattop100's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27384 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Seems to me that only happens in companies who don't love what they make. I get the totally opposite impression from SD. -- flattop100 ---- flattop100's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28821 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I recently bought a Microsoft Natural Elite Pro Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 (there's probably some other words in the title, but I forgot them). Quite honestly, (and with apologies to Logitech) it's hands down the best wired keyboard on the market, in my opinion. Build quality, feel, additional buttons...it's a fantastic bit of kit. Worth the $55. -- flattop100 ---- flattop100's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28821 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
