Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] IR sensor ALMOST dead - any cure?
FYI, I decided to have a look at the power supply that was causing the old "no remote control" issue on my touch. Photos attached. I removed the DC output lead and fitted to another 5v power supply that I had lying around. Once that was done and tested, I decided to check out the failed power supply. No signs of overheating etcbut There are 3 electrolytic caps on the output; 2 x 1000 uf @ 10V and 1 x 470uf @ 10V All 3 exhibit the old "swollen end" tell tale of failure. I removed them from the board and tested with my cap tester. Sure enough, all 3 have failed. So this will be causing excessive ripple / noise on the output voltage which appears to be at just the right frequency to swamp the IR diode and circuit, causing the issue experienced. Not sure if I can get the little plastic case back together, but would be easy enough to reconstruct in a little jiffy box. $2 in parts and it will be up and running again :) +---+ |Filename: IMG_2077.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=31793| +---+ leinster-lad's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=45943 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103192 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Stumbled across this tread while searching for a solution to my SBT remote not working issue. All set to pull it apart and replace the sensor when I thought i'd try a new plug pack from a second SBT that I have just aquired (as suggested in a couple of posts) Well what do you know, it now works, good distance and not really pointing it directly at the SBT ! (new plug pack into old SBT) So I double blind tested. Old plug pack into new SBT = no dice New plug pack into new SBT = all good New plug pack into old SBT = all good. Old plug pack into old SBT = no dice. tried the same test in two different rooms = same results.

If above steps fail, I would open the remote and clean the contacts with rubbing alcohol, then apply contact paste. This is exactly how my SoundBridge remote behaved in the kitchen, too many oily finger touches. The fact that you press harder while brining it close to the SBT may make you think you have IR failure.

I'd still try a new PSU (the original one with the exact specs) before attempting this. It's obvious when these PSU's get a tad off spec, the operation of these units begins to falter.

I am also glad that I found this interesting thread about non-working-IR-diode on the Squeezeboxes. I have 7 of these in my house on various places and a couple of the Duet and Touch. After several of years of non-problematic use one of the Squeezeboxes had stopped reacting on commands from the remote controller. After reading through this thread I tested the problematic Squeezebox with my lab power supply that has good current supply at 5 VDC and it did not help. I ordered a couple of the Vishay TSOP32238 from a French eBay seller: 'http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172267599071' (Vishay TSOP32238) Using my desoldering station it was still somewhat a hassle to desolder to non-working IR-diode from the board. I think that it would have been easier if I would have first just cut the 3 small legs and then desolder the 2 bigger case legs. Anyway, I soldered in the new IR-diode (without the casing) and tested it with my initial PSU and voil! Remote control worked without any problems at all and from all kinds of bad angles and long distance. Thanks guys for the tip of using the TSOP32238. I did order some TSOP32240 as well but they haven't arrived yet so I haven't been able to test them but since the TSOP32238 seems to work fine I am happy. :D CrazyFin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35625 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103192 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

I've had lots of experience of kit dying that's very often down to simply replacing the "wall wart" to get it going again. Also, as they approach their end of life, the voltage often drops off slowly, affecting different parts of the device over time, starting with those parts that are obviously more sensitive to the voltage drop. I've found that you can't tell if the PSU's duff by simply checking at it's plug, as if usually will only show the low voltage when loaded. When I get a chance I'll open up my Touch and measure the voltage internally. rickwookie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6397 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103192 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] IR sensor ALMOST dead - any cure?
Please be very cautious when separating the case. After removing the stand w/ a 5/64 hex and the two #0 phillips screws, the case will start to separate from the bottom, but the top section may resist. In my case, when I pulled a bit to hard and the top section came free, the two halves separated enough to have torn the display cable. I now have a working touch, controllable only by Wi-Fi with no display. I'm not aware of a way to change the Wi-Fi settings as they do not appear in the web interface. Luckily I do have a spare Touch, but would love some pointers on how I can use this Logitech stealth mode touch-less, I created. Like I said, work very carefully in separating the case, use a splodger, or credit card, perhaps.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] IR sensor ALMOST dead - any cure?
I had to check my remote as I rarely use it these days. I went across the room and pointed it away from my SBT and it worked fine. So I doubt my IR sensor will be breaking down anytime soon. Anyway, I'm glad I checked this thread since I also decided to take a peak at the batteries inside my remote. One was actually corroding. Look's like I got to it just in time.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] IR sensor ALMOST dead - any cure?
:) Good news: I have replaced the original IR module in my SB Touch with a new one and *now it works perfectly again*! Technical information: - the new IR module is a Vishay TSOP 34838, a cheap (1 USD) 38kHz part. I'm not sure if 38 or 40kHz is best (Logitech writes 40kHz but my oscilloscope says about 38...). I guess any IR module would work, this one is just the one I could find easily - the only problem with this module is that I had to cross the VCC and GND pins. Versions with the right pinning are available, but I ordered the wrong one - the module ist not in an metal case like the original one, it's just plastics - the biggest difficulty was to remove the old IR module because of the bad accessability and the fact that the metal case is soldered to the PCB - to do that, I had to remove the PCB from the back of the case. I didn't separate the cables between the PCB and the screen - my oscilloscope shows that there are less perturbations at the output of the new IR module than before, but there is still some. It seems that it's not a problem Thanks to all for your support!

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] IR sensor ALMOST dead - any cure?
Hi guys I can confirm that the IR sensor is at the top left corner of SB Touch as Gandhi already suspected. From what I can tell it's the same / similar little module that was used in SliMP3, Squeezebox 1 and 2, SB Classic, SB Boom, Transporter, SB Radio and Smart Radio too. The module itself only filters out the IR carrier which is around 38kHz. If you have ruled out other sources that might interfere with IR like neon lights, TV sets, etc. I probably would take SB Touch apart and try IR without the front cover to see if maybe the front cover somehow is diminishing the IR signal. (Some dust maybe or some other deposit on the plastic.) After that I would try to replace the IR module with a similar one. They all seem to have the same pinout.
