[slim] Re: SB2 went bonkers
Mick, this is what I am seeing on my SB2 as well. The description of your problem is similar to what I described at the top of this thread. My SB2 has added a few new twists to the problem description I put up earlier. Now it would also stop playback after a few minutes into playing, just like yours. Were there any funky pixels at the display when problem occurs? When you reconfigure your SB2 to connect did you notice any invalid values in fields like SSID, IP address, subnetmasks, default gateway, etc.? -- kbelinski ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Hi Sean, It happened again a moment ago. Exactly the same sympton. I am calling [EMAIL PROTECTED] for help. seanadams Wrote: Congratulations, this is the most bizarre failure we've ever heard of. I have no idea what would cause it - maybe a bad memory chip or power supply... so strange. If it happens frequently please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] so we can get it swapped out. Never heard of anything like this and would like to take a look at this one if it ends up coming in for replacement. -- kbelinski ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I just found a faster way to recover from this problem. Just unplug from power source and leave idle for 15 minutes. Reconnect power and execute a factory reset. Reconfigure all network parameters connect... all will be ok. This problem has occurred no less than 6 times since last weekend. I have written in to SlimSupport to request for a swap out. -- kbelinski ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: SB2 went bonkers
If you ask have I done anything special recently before the occurrence. Well, I tried the 6.2 nightly on the same PC (I uninstalled 6.1.1 then installed 6.2). This involves firmware upgrade to 16. The key feature I was looking for in 6.2 was not working correctly so I performed a rollback to 6.1.1. All firmware updates were successful. The rollback was ok. The SB2 worked fine. I started noticing the weird problem only after the upgrade and downgrade exercise. Have I done anything wrong in the process? -- kbelinski ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

SB2 was working fine since last evening. I will continue to monitor and if it happens again I will get in touch with SD support. Thanks for the advice, Sean. -- kbelinski ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

No I don't think the upgrade/downgrade is related - when the software is up/downgraded, the firmware is replaced completely. It sounds like a hardware issue since you mention funky pixels on the display. -- seanadams ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
