I have been in touch with them and this has ended with EMEA support
sending me a replacement SB3.
Partly out of idle curiosity, and

100 F is nothing. 100 C is bad.
My laptop just hit 81 C, but I was streaming video, which is a big
load. Normal is 45C idling in my living room, which is about 70 degrees
F.
Pat, good rule of thumb for translating C to F is this: double and
Not sure if this is relevant, but Q3 is running at close to 150 degrees
C and a small area of board near the top of Q3 looks slightly burnt.

My SB3 recently developed a fault in that it now invariably crashes
after a brief period of use (display goes blank and no sound). It is
now out of warranty, and as this is now the third hardware fault I have
had with this unit, I am inclined to bin it rather than pay for a
further repair.

100 degrees on a CPU? - that cannot be right. Must be a faulty m-board
or PSU in the SB3. Can you check the current being drawn by the PSU
with a multimeter?
My thinking exactly - 50 or 60 degrees I could understand, but 100 must
be well outside the device spec.

Definately 100 C.
Also just spotted this:

Mine is drawing 1.45A, which does not look good by comparison.

You may want to use tinyurl to fix that url, it didn't post cleanly.

I measured the voltage being supplied by the external PSU at 5.17V off
load, which seems reasonable. The SB3 is drawing 1.45A, with the
wireless card still

The temperature was

The temperature was measured with the probe that came with my multimeter
- not sure exactly what type it is. Even if the reading is a bit off,
the CPU still gets hot enough to burn skin :/
The current draw of 1.45A was measured with the SB3 idling.

Adam,
Try
Don't worry found a thread that stated the max current draw seen was
0.93A which I believe to be correct.

Ok,
The cpu should be receiving 1.2v from the onboard regulators, not sure
where to probe at the moment (easy on the SBR - the test pads are plain
to see). I'll check for you tomorrow.

Many thanks.
Just tried the probe in a freshly boiled kettle thing, and got a
