I just checked the voltage points mentioned in this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?74844-Troubleshooting-(internal)-power-supply-issue&p=515312&viewfull=1#post515312 Everything is pretty close, except the 14.8V point comes out between 14.5 and 14.6, perhaps not important.

Fizbin and Mnyb, thinking it's a solder issue is just a guess, coming from the observation that putting mild torque or pressure on the connections and/or board can change the behavior between seeing the ethernet and not seeing it at all, and also between hiccups with the ir communications of the r

After playing around with it some more, I now think it's a case of a bad solder joint or other bad/flaky connection. Running it without the case, I was able to make the "no ethernet connection" condition come and go by putting slight pressure on the board or connections. And also getting into/ou

Yeah, it seems like there's some kind of baseline flakiness going on. This probably accounts for: - sometimes not recognizing that the ethernet cable is connected at all - sometimes processing a button press repeatedly Perhaps it's a heat thing related to a loose connection or hairline circuit

The LMS is running on a Linux machine (ubuntu). Its configuration hasn't changed in a long time, and the SB is talking fine with it over wifi. On wifi tracks play without issue (except for the occasional reboots and skipping). I have not tried connecting to MySqueezebox.com. Will try tonight

No, and now that I moved it, it complains "ethernet appears disconnected". I tried two different cables and two different ports on the main router. Then I brought it back to the WAP, and I'm getting the same thing there. So it seems like the jostling made something stop working (not that I handl

I have a Squeezebox Classic, running firmware 137, server is 7.7.5. I've been running it over wifi for many years. Recently I experienced the problem of the player randomly resetting, sometimes skipping. I read up on the forums, did factory resets and xilinx programs, didn't help. So I switche
