[slim] Re: Dead remote or...?
I've got a similar problem in that my wireless SB3 will turn itself off after a period of time (1-20 minutes) and then I need to unplug the power and plug it back in. This happens whether I have a wireless connection, wired connection, connecting to slimserver or squeezenetwork. Also it happens whether it is on playing music, or in standby. I have reset the box using the add button and the 1 button. Reset the MAC address to it's orignal address when I spotted that this had changed. Any ideas? Fuseball, have you had any luck with your SB. -- mightygriffin mightygriffin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2070 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25220 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Looks like it'll need replacing though. Bracing myself for a weekend using CDs again. ;) Your SB3 is definitely exhibiting similar behaviour to mine, with the obvious exception of my remote receiver not functioning. Does the music stop playing when it switches itself off? -- Fuseball Fuseball's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5776 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25220 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

White noise is a symptom of a software crash I have seen. Do try a complete reset (add button while plugging in) before you return it. Or the 1 button - this should reprogram the processor or something. -- Michael --- Help translate SlimServer by using the SlimString Translation Helper (http://www.herger.net/slim/) ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Dead remote or...?
Thanks for the suggestions. Just tried both those reset procedures. Unfortunately it still wouldn't recognise anything from the remote, so holding down those buttons did nothing at all. The sound is coming through fine after a night of being disconnected from the power though. Looks like it might be a serious overheating issue to me. It's hot in the UK at the moment, but still considerably less than should cause the unit to overheat. It's in a well ventilated spot with no other electrical equipment around it. However, it does display the more severe symptoms (display blanking and white noise) after being left on for a while (anything from a few minutes to an hour). The mac address is fine. Just checked it via my router's diagnostics. And the screen has blanked again. Oh well... -- Fuseball Fuseball's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5776 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25220 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Blank display could be a couple of things, including your having set the display to Off in standby. If your remote is working (I agree there may be a fault there), then instead of disconnecting and reconnecting power, you can press *and hold* the On/Off button on the remote until you get the setup screen. Then there is usually no need to go through the whole setup procedure, use of the Up and Down buttons gives an option to connect to a specific address (192.168.1.12 in my case). I have found quite often that when my computer wakes from sleep my Squeezebox does not reconnect to the SlimServer (sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't), and I have to go through this procedure to get it going. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25220 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

The standby mode is the clock with a brightness of 2. I tried resetting with the held On/Off button but the lack of remote response stopped that working. To be honest I've not had any problems with it connecting to the server, even when the display blanked on me. -- Fuseball Fuseball's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5776 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25220 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Your best bet is to contact support tomorrow (since today is a holiday in the US), and confirm that. They may (depending on your comfort level) step you through checking and/or fixing that or just tell you to swap it with the retailer. Something very similar happened with my Rotel CD player when I first had it - intermittent strange behaviour from a loose ribbon cable. I'll give support a call tomorrow. I've taken a couple of Powerbooks to pieces before now so I'm not too terrified of opening up the Squeezebox. :) -- Fuseball Fuseball's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5776 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25220 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Okay, bit of a grim development. Getting a wall of white noise and distortion coming out of the SB3 now. Not good. :( Looks like a potentially costly return to the (online) retailer. Fingers crossed that customer service counts for something. -- Fuseball Fuseball's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5776 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25220 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

White noise is a symptom of a software crash I have seen. Do try a complete reset (add button while plugging in) before you return it. After the reset, you'll soon know if the remote works. If not, no luck. If it does work, then find the settings screen which shows the mac address of the SB3 and see if it matches the address on the bottom of the unit. The snow crash can change the mac address! If its wrong, set it back to the value on the bottom. -- Millwood Millwood's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3600 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25220 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
