Re: [slim] Dead SB3 - PSU or SB3 Itself?

2011-09-10 Thread agbagb

I tried removing the wireless card - no joy.  Re-installed it - no joy. 
Dead; deceased; no more.

But I'm keeping it, against the day when / if the wireless card fails
on the other one.

I do like my new Touch.  But I do notice it seems to have 25% less
volume available than the old SB.  And its menu system is - at the
least - quirky.

Re: [slim] Dead SB3 - PSU or SB3 Itself?

2011-09-08 Thread chrisinparis

Yes check this and the other thread I link to for troubleshooting
options.  If all else fails, it is worth opening up the SB3 and moving
the wireless card as this has semi-solved the problem for quite a few
people.

Back to me :)  I am very happy with Logitech support (am I allowed to
say that?).  After lamenting here (or perhaps before), I contacted
Logitech support explaining what happened (as per my last post).  I was
frustrated and hoped I could swap the incorrect power plates for the
right ones or something.

Anyway, support asked me to confirm my address etc as they were sending
me the correct power plates ASAP.  They arrived via UPS yesterday.  I am
*so* happy that my SB3 is working again, and very thankful to the
support person that dealt with my case. (Also this was all at no charge
to me - wow, customer service in this day and age).

So something positive.  THought I'd share that as I'm often negative...
Icing on the cake - mySB.com is working reliably again in Europe.  Now
just have to repair my server machine and re-install SB server.

Try to pull the wireless card out, this requires opening the SB3.  Then
give it power.  This worked for a 'broken' one I got off ebay.  Works

Just got the dead SB problem myself.  Tried it on replacement

Any repair tips or hints?  As it happens I'd just ordered a Touch to

Re: [slim] Dead SB3 - PSU or SB3 Itself?

2011-08-26 Thread chrisinparis

Just ordered off the Logitech site.  Thanks for the link, not sure I'd
have found it otherwise, and for the reminder about the plates.

The unit is pretty pricey, and did consider getting one of the UK eBay
site, but then I would probably not have the right plug; and I'd prefer
having a PSU designed for my SB3.

Did try to order from the German Logitech site, and it lets me get
quite far before right at the end complaining about the country I'd
chosen (Switzerland) and telling me it's Germany or nothing (in that
case, why have a bloddy country pop-up with lots of EU countries + CH
inh the list?).

So ordered from the Swiss site, paying the obligatory invisible 'Swiss'
tax that importers make us pay here...  Hopefully delivery will be from
CH and quick.

Now just have to get my server running again, and deal with the
7.6.1...

Just come out of a very friendly Zurich, quite specialised audio shop
where I was able to plug a SB Touch power cable into my SB3 and see my
SB3 come to life :)

However, got out of there sharp-ish before I started to get too

So just have to get a new power supply. Any recommendations, or any
universal plug with right characteristics will do?

Why not a Touch PSU if your budget is tigth, it is said to be better
than the original Eu slimdevices SB3 PSU model, it complies to modern
standards regarding emi/rfi something the old model does not .

it also have these practical slide on plug adapters so it can be
changed to fit different outlets .

It can be data mining expedition to actually find the PSU on logitech

Re: [slim] Dead SB3 - PSU or SB3 Itself?

2011-08-24 Thread yeomanspc

For sure the most likely problem is the PSU.  But don't simply test the
voltage output from the PSU - very often this is ok but it's the load
that causes it to fail (and a simple voltmeter won't test for that). 
Considering the cost of SB3's (and the fact you can't buy them now),
I'd always shell out for a new beefy PSU just to try it (OEM ones can
be found for 15ukp / 20usd).  If you have other players, try the PSU
from one of those.

Re: [slim] Dead SB3

2011-06-19 Thread muski

Thanks to whomever recommended reseating the wifi card.  My toddler had
dropped mine, and I thought it was a goner.  However, after a few tries
at reinstalling the wifi card, it came back to life.

Turns out there are two connectors that need to be verified -- one is
the wifi card itself (with clips on the side).  The other is that the
circuit board that holds the wifi card.  It needs to be properly seated
to the motherboard.  In my case it was this one that came loose.  That
board is only held in place by some double sided tape, so it can easily
come out.  I just removed it completely and reseated it carefully.

Worked!

Well, that didn't last long.  After working fine yesterday, the SB is
back to its old state.  Nothing happens unless I remove the wireless

be a function of:  a.  a bad card; b.  card not designed for of SB;  c.
something else is wrong in the SB causing the card to burn out?

Well, if that's the problem, at least you'll know.

Then you can buy a $30 router to use as a wireless bridge, or you can
sell your SB3 as a second hand WiFi-less SB3 on Ebay or something.

Or you can just give up, throw the whole thing in the trash, and we'll

Maybe remove the card, but don't cut anything!! Those wires are
standard wifi antenna cables, you should be able to pull/snap those off
pretty easily.

SB2/SB3/Classic use a standard Atheros mini-PCI card that is usually
pretty easy to find on eBay for less than $20 USD with shipping. Other
threads on this forum have described where to find one, e.g.
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=340269postcount=11 If
that post is correct, then this should be a good candidate for $16 USD
(if your problem is the wifi card):
http://cgi.ebay.com/TL-WN560G-MiniPCI-Mini-PCI-WiFi-802-11b-g-adapter-NEW-/230458680645
-- just snap those wifi antenna cables back on and you should be set to
go wireless again.

Is it out of warranty? Slim Devices used to do out-of-warranty repairs
for a flat $90, and Logitech continued that for quite a while after the
corporate buyout, but no longer. Someone recently posted that Logitech
offered them 50% off a new SB if they sent back their dead SB3, so you

As I recall there are previous threads about issues with the wireless
card causing similar problems.  An obvious suggestion would be to make
sure the wireless card is completely seated.  If that doesn't work, try
removing the wireless card altogether and see if the unit starts working
(assuming you can use it wired).

Resoldering all connections on the circuit board could help.

 How about 8 inch floppy disks?

Actually it was Concurrent CP/M-8/16.

So, yeah, 8 inch floppies, but no DOS.

PIP, of course, but not DOS.

Contact support and arrange an RMA... From what I've seen, their
out-of-warranty repair rates are very reasonable.

The catch is that you will be without your SB while they fix it... but
then, it doesn't work anyway.


(Years ago when I did tech support for a living, a customer called with
a broken machine [fat-boat-anchor-S100 machine, which dates me :P] and
wanted us to fix it... I approved the return but he didn't want to
return it.  I need it!... But it's broken, send it back..  I
can't, I need it!  How he needed a system that wouldn't boot is beyond
me... Maybe he didn't have a ballast or needed a space heater...)
