Re: [slim] ACK! I dropped my SB3!
No problem. Open up a web browser on the netbook and enter the address http://:9000/ , BUT instead of putting , you put the IP address of the the desktop that is running Squeezebox Server. So if the desktop's IP address is 192.168.0.3, you would type http://192.168.0.3:9000/. This tells the netbook to connect to the mini web server that runs as part of Squeezebox Server on your desktop. If you don't know the IP address of the desktop you can find out, but the exact steps depend on the operating system. If it's Windows you can open a command window and type "ipconfig" (without quotes) and it will tell you the IP address. Depending on how your network and desktop are set up, you might be able to connect using the "name" of your desktop. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82350 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Well, that's way better than nothing. Basically you have the equivalent of a Duet Receiver. You could keep it as is, and control it with iPeng (on an iPhone or iPod Touch), or an Android device, or a Duet Controller. There probably isn't any new firmware coming down the pike for the SB3, but just in case I hope you had it set to automatic update before it died (it's in the firmware menu and no longer accessible if you don't have a screen).

IIRC the improvements are most pronounced with the digial outs (and therefore unrelated to the DAC). I have compared the analog outs and can hear a difference on my relatively modest hifi. Not a night-vs-day difference, but a difference. None of my amps have digital inputs so I have never compared the digital outputs. There are several threads comparing the audio quality of the Touch with the SB3 and Transporter. Sorry I don't have any links handy, but if you search on the likely suspects you should find something. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82350 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] ACK! I dropped my SB3!
Sorry to hear about that. It is worth opening it up. If you are very lucky, maybe you only jarred the wireless card loose. That can happen with far less drastic drops, and if it's loose it can mess up more than the wireless. For example, it could be the source of your display problems. It's certainly worth a shot. Logitech is no longer doing out-of-warranty repairs, and I haven't heard of anyone else doing them either. If it turns out to be something that can't be fixed, or can't be fixed for less than $100-150, then you should seriously consider replacing it with the SB Touch.
