Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Loss of clock - standalone, no internet
I was able to borrow a neighbor's wireless internet connection. Initially the connection was quite weak - 5 to 8 percent according to the Touch. No luck with the clock. Later on, the signal strength had improved to 15 percent, and the clock screen-savers were again functional. -- R Johnson R Johnson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36462 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77523 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
[SlimDevices: Touch] Loss of clock - standalone, no internet
My SB Touch arrived at the office yesterday. It fired up nicely with a wired connection to my router and downloaded the current firmware. I inserted an 8GB SDHC card with music content. Worked very nicely. Then I removed the ethernet connection and ran it standalone with an analog connection to my office mini-system. I liked the nice digital clock in off mode. It was automatically set to the right time! I pulled the SD card to see what new cache files had been created. Then put the SD card back. I unplugged the Touch and brought it to my apartment, where I have no internet service (apart from possibly sponging from a neighbor's wireless network). Surprisingly, it took a little fooling around to get the Touch going. But there's no more digital clock. I tried selecting the various clock screen-savers for the stopped or off cases. No joy. Sometime a sample clock would come up, but not showing the correct time or date. Very curious. User error or system/hardware design? -- R Johnson R Johnson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36462 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77523 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

A few of us have had the same problem.Not much help to you,but mine started working of it's own accord.Others have said it works fine with the ethernet cable plugged in. -- Ali Tait Ali Tait's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37387 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77523 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

I don't think it has a built-in hardware clock with a backup battery, so it needs some time server on the network after you have pulled the mains plug. -- usch usch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33389 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77523 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
