By the way, I am typing this on a $499 laptop from Fry's Electronics (ZX-5360). I bought it back in October and has been working flawlessly since day 1. Very impressive given this brand (Great Quality) is often dubbed as "cheap". This thing is reliable and does the job for me. It has never crashed

Well, I was basically talking about computer equipment for home use. Perhaps I had a problem or two with office machines back when I used to work as system administrator. Still, reliability was not bad at all. I remember my first HD was a clunker "ST" seagate (full height) with 33 MB capacity. I

Update: I got a response from Tech support today. They suggested resetting the Xilink which I already did. They also suggested pressing the left arrow for five seconds to bring up the "setup networking" screen. Negative... I guess I'll have to return the unit for warranty service. Now, I am wond

The SB3 is still unresponsive. It failed to reset to factory settings after numerous attempts. I will let it "rest" for 24 hours and try back tomorrow night. By then, hopefully, I should have an answer from tech support. The strange thing about all this is how sudden and unexpected the "death" wa

Thanks for your reply. I tried that too after checking older threads in the archives. No dice. I kept the key pressed before and after plugging in the connector. Did it actually do the factory reset? Did you have to re-enter all the settings? Exactly last night I had the same issue: the box

BTW, because of the SB3's failure I had to press my CD/DVD player back into service. It's a Denon DVD-2910 that also plays SACDs. Well, the sound is decidely inferior to my SB3. I had gotten used to the smooth sound quality of the Squeezebox. Even when using the same outboard DAC, the Denon is no

Have you tried a factory reset? To do this, hold down "add" on the remote while plugging the sb3 into power. -- azinck3 azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://foru

I forgot to mention I left the SB3 unplugged for a few minutes and then plugged it back. It did nothing. Right now, it's warm to the touch like it usually is when working normally. Thinking about letting it cool down for more time, perhaps a few hours... -- crooner
