Re: [slim] SB2 has died
That mirrors my experience - the stock power supply is the weakest link. It fails but seldom cleanly, it'll result in remotes not working or music stopping suddenly (ugh). That is about the only reason I stopped replacing stock PS and got a bunch of linear supplies. ...pablo Server: Virtual Machine (on VMware Workstation 14 Pro) running Ubuntu 18.04 + LMS 7.9.1 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=111255 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SB2 has died
I had a feeling it was the PSU because the Transporter has the same symptom when the PSU fails. The display goes out but it still works. A week later the unit stops working entirely.

Take a bow, alfista! Turns out it was indeed the PSU. I tried plugging in the PSU from a SB3 I also have, and everything is fine. Even the display is back working. Thank you!

Re: [slim] SB2 has died
Ah - I thought the meaning was it was only used in Ethernet not that there was never any Wi-fi available on that particular device at all. That does explain a couple of recovered SB2 devices that I have with holes in the back ... I had thought that the card and antenna had been taken out to use somewhere else rather than never having been fitted.

Re: [slim] SB2 has died
You can try taking out the wifi board even if not using it. I have a SB Radio that will not boot with the wifi board in it but will if I take it out (and then use it from ethernet).

[slim] SB2 has died
My SB2 (bought back in 2005) seems to have finally turned up its toes. A few weeks ago the display apparently failed, but the unit was still working and playing OK. Yesterday I went to use it and it was totally unresponsive, and not showing as a player in LMS. The power supply wall-wart is fine, supplying 5.08V. This is a wired-only SB2, so it can't be due to a failed WiFi board. I tried going through the motions of a factory reset and Xilinx reset, and nothing appears to happen. When I apply power, the optical output does NOT glow red. So, I'm ready to accept it is done for and replace it with a RPi, but before I do that is there anything I can check on the circuit board? There are no visibly burned out components. What voltages can I check?
