Re: [slim] SB3 appears dead
Adding my appreciation for this forum and the community for steering me in the right direction (also big thanks to Logitech for keeping the Squeezebox alive). Yesterday, my trusty Squeezebox SB3 was dark. I'd seen this problem before, and usually I just unplug and plug it back in, but this time it stayed black. The Toslink in the back did light up red though. I checked the power supply with a multimeter, and it had power, so I RULED THAT OUT. I started hunting around for an alternative, but as there is none, I considered finally building a Raspberry Pi + Hifiberry DAC+ RCA media streamer to replace it - I'll get around to building this eventually. Due to the chip shortage, you need to fork out $100 just for a used Raspberry Pi on eBay, because they're out of stock for months. So today, I thought I'd see if there's some miracle boot sequence I can use to revive my old friend, and I tried Add (+) and plugging in, then tried 1 and plug in. Then I read this thread, and at first was a little confused at the mention of "power supply" - wondering how there can be a power supply in the unit as well as a power adapter external - then realized y'all were talking about the 5VDC external power adapter failing (to me I had ruled it out, so my thoughts were internal). So I dug through my wall warts and found a perfect fit at 5VDC and 2A, and it came back to life. I also read about the capacitors for the audio channels - maybe someday I'll replace those - for now I use the Toslink. The offender: GROUP WEST Model AUT 05 1600; 5VDC 1600mA center positive power adapter. Symptoms: Powers down to black screen (blank screen) overnight. The normal, warm unit is cold. Unplugging/plugging doesn't reset it, but the red Toslink light still comes on. 37024 +---+ |Filename: SqueezeboxPowerSupply.JPG| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=37024| +---+ benslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6047 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49785 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Thanks so much for posting that cached link. I knew I'd seen something about the capacitors before. First Logitech kill the Slim product line, then they erase history with their "forum cleanup"! :mad: Anyway, I've invested in an ESR meter, identified about 10 capacitors that I'm not happy with (although looking at the datasheets just now while searching for replacements, perhaps 8 of those are reading as expected, let's wait and see what values I get from the new ones) but specifically C16 and C20 both give totally bad readings (both read "open circuit" on the meter) and they are also the only two that have noticeable brown discolouration around the base. I'm therefore quite optimistic that this fix may work! They are both 10 F 16 V 4 mm diameter caps - about 15 pence each.

Re: [slim] SB3 appears dead
Aztek, That's good that you are going again. As far as 1 amp being enough, my feeling is that that will be a bit light and will probably fail sooner rather than later. Over in the audiophools forum if you do a search for power supply and have a brief look at some of the threads they are all going for at least 2 amps at 5 volts. gusi and bigjules, my PSU read 5.01 volts no load, but when plugged in to my SB3 was 3.8 (or what I wrote in the earlier post). The power down the NSW South Coast goes up and down like a yo-yo, anything between 220 and 260v with the occasional minute or two blackout. My pc's and Sony TV are on UPS power, but the modified sine wave UPS output is too crook to run an audio amp, so that and the SB3 are on mains.

Re: [slim] SB3 appears dead
Thanks Wirrunna. I've contacted Jaycar as you suggested and will pick up a 5v regulated power supply @ 2.5 Amps. Interestingly enough - when doing a bit of a search last night to find out about the amps - I came across a number of threads that included failed power supplies at around the 2 year mark and also mostly in Australia. I think you are correct when you suspect that there is an issue with the 230v power supply as the number of failure rates around the 2 year mark in 230v countries to just too coincidental to ignore.

Re: [slim] SB3 appears dead
Aztek, The exact same thing happened to my SB3 a week ago. Cold, no display but red LED on in the little square optical link on the back. So, after trying all the same things that people suggested for you I reluctantly unscrewed the back and measured the volts with my trusty meter - only 3.87, should be 5.00 indicating that the little switch mode PSU had semi failed. I plugged in a PSU from my second SB3 and all worked again. I'm now down to one SB3 until I build a new 5 volt power supply as buying a replacement unit in Australia is impossible. My advice then is to try and borrow a PSU from another SB3 to see if your SB3 is still OK - if you cannot borrow a PSU, then take it to your local Electronics shop and ask them to test the PSU - it should be able to supply 5 volts at 2 amps, they should also be able to rig up a 5 volt supply to test the SB3. -- Wirrunna A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee.

Re: [slim] SB3 appears dead
Thanks - mine is exactly the same. So if I understand you correctly - it is the external power supply that is not delivering the required 5v to SB3 therefore resulting in it to be unable to boot up.
