Mine died about 2 months ago. I took it to Jaycar Electronics and bought a new PS for about $20.00. Does not get any easier than that. -- givendale givendale's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=101

I had a similar problem described in this thread. After two and a half years, the SB3 is suddenly dead. Logitech phone support said since there's no repair facility in Australia and the unit is out of warranty, it's a write off. So I thought I might as well crack the case open and see if it was s

Just a followup post to my previous one. After contacting technical support I sent the squeezebox and power supply to the US from Sydney for about $65. A bit less than 2 weeks later I received my unit back again - apparently there was a problem with the power supply. All is well now. -- tegandr

This must be a pandemic! I am also in Sydney and my Squeezebox (v3) just died yesterday (8th Feb 2008). It was two years and one month old. Mine didn't die overnight though. Its been going down intermittently for the past fortnight. At the time I thought it was just suffering from local wireless

Well, I had contact with the Slim Devices support. The repair alone is going to set me back USD 90, but on top of that, I need to get it to the US. This is very disappointing, as with the Logitech acquisition, one might hope a more global service. I bought a second Squeezebox in Sydney, but if I

Your best bet is to phone or email Slim Devices tech support. Even though this users' forum is good, the actual support staff is better positioned to walk you through diagnosing the issue and figuring out what to do. See this link for support contact info: http://slimdevices.com/su_tech.html? --
