Re: [slim] Re: SB2 Dead - HELP!
In addition to this, the SB3 is more expensive, albeit almost identical but for casing, as far as I'm aware. Therefore, my only option to resolve a faulty unit is to have it sent back, then pay more money for a replacement unit that I don't really like so much in a colour different to the old one. I'm either going to have to rearrange stuff to fit it in, or sell it on, since right now I'm not best pleased. It's a shame that an SB3 wouldn't fit in your setup as I think you'd like it. However, if it has genuinely failed under warranty you really don't have to pay extra now that the SB2 has been superceded with the SB3. Your supplier should either offer you a free upgrade or your money back. As a consumer in the UK you have rights, unfortunately a lot of shops try to avoid their obligations to save money.

[slim] Re: SB2 Dead - HELP!
Sorry for the delay... After talks direct with Slimdevices technical support, they determined that my machine was dead and needed replacing/repairing depending on warranty. Fortunately, the place I'd purchased from in the UK didn't dispatch my unit until mid June '05, putting it still within its 1 year warranty. I couriered the unit back, they determined first hand that the unit was faulty and offered a replacement UNFORTUNATELY, the Squeezebox 2 is no longer available, so my only choice would be a SB3. Wasn't best pleased with this, since I much prefer the SB2. In addition to this, the SB3 is more expensive, albeit almost identical but for casing, as far as I'm aware. Therefore, my only option to resolve a faulty unit is to have it sent back, then pay more money for a replacement unit that I don't really like so much in a colour different to the old one. I'm either going to have to rearrange stuff to fit it in, or sell it on, since right now I'm not best pleased. Maybe it's just unfortunate, but it still gripes initially. One of the deciding factors originally was the design and integration with an existing setup.

[slim] Re: SB2 Dead - HELP!
I have just experienced the exact same issue: Left SB2 off while I was on a 2 week business trip (left it unplugged actually), just went to plug it in and nothing. No screen, no scrolling, no finding the network, cannot see it as a player in Slimserver...just a small red light that can be seen through the optical port in the back. Has there been any resolve or update to the OP on this issue?

I agree, not good.

Nothing. Not even the splash screen scrolling across.

Is it just the screen that is completely blank, or can you not connect via the web interface and play music at all ? First suggestion to rule out just screen blankage: Press the brightness button on the remote a couple of times - it could be that SB is on and functioning but the brightness has been set to 0. If not, a few more details of your setup please ? OS / version slimserver / how is it connected to your network ? If you unplug and plug the power back in, does the SB default to network set up or does nothing happen ? What about a hard reset - (unplug and replug power supply all the while holding down the Add button) but you will lose your settings with this. -- Siduhe Siduhe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24195 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
