Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] IR Range Seems To Have Decreased
I have 2 squeezebox touch. One of them stopped responding to the remote. Using the same remote only one of them responded. I switched units and found out the problem wasn't the remote or the unit, it was the power adapter. I replaced with a very cheap one from aliexpress and problem fixed! https://es.aliexpress.com/item/4000147218839.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.274263c0F9hHFx I can now turn it on and play music with alexa and an universal wifi ir remote, very happy :D JavierP's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70682 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112871 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

I'm pretty sure over the years I've seen many reports of failing IR reception being fixed by replacement PSU's... Just tried a search and found this thread - you've got to read through to the later pages to find the PSU fixing it reports. https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?103192-IR-sensor-ALMOST-dead-any-cure Kev KeBul's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112871 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

I tried new remote batteries and also a second IR controller with no improvement. I have put my backup Touch into service and it works normally. Seems like the IR receiver in the original Touch is failing. Would like to have it fixed so I still have a "backup".

Simple stuff first, have you tried new batteries ? Other than that have you another Touch you can try the remote on, emitters are more likely to fail then receivers. I suspect either emitter or receiver will be repairable Jeff *Want a webapp ?* Get SqueezeLite-X ! https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?108550-Announce-Squeezelite-X=903953=1#post903953 Jeff07971's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49290 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112871 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
[SlimDevices: Touch] IR Range Seems To Have Decreased
Today I found that one of my beloved Squeezebox Touch units was no longer responding to IR from remotes. Upon further investigation, I learned that it will respond but only at short range (under 10'). Is this something that happens with these units, and can it be repaired? Thanks.
