My transporter died this morning. It was merrily playing along, when it
suddenly became unresponsive (a little like when the SB3 loses contact
with the network).
It went all dark, and does not respond to any input, be it via remote
or via the main panel. It nevertheless does not seem to be
My brandnew Transporter also is dead/won't start anymore...
This not enough I can't open the case (for checkig the fuse) as I don't
have a 1/13'' hex key. (metric system here)

Unfortunately, my Transporter died as well. I sent an e-mail over the
holiday weekend (#14519, if support is looking at this)and am waiting
to hear about next steps.
The first thing I did (probably on 11/17) was to check these forums for
any news on this. At that time, this thread didn't exist
My transported died last night. I can't turn it back on. Unfortunate,
since my SB3 is a poor substitute.

Anyway, thankyou for responding. I will be returning my Transporter
and SB3 pre-order package for a refund.
And replace it with what?
The failure rate is too great in my opinion for a high-end component.
And what failure rate would that be? A handful of returns out of how

At the Transporter's price point, we all wish for perfection. But even

It happened to you and it happened to me too. But

Well, I understand your frustration with having to ship your
transporter back to the US on your own dime (pence? shilling?) And I
also understand your desire to see Slimdevices cross-ship a
replacement. That might be a
sounds broken to me, I guess you will have to get a warrenty repair or
replacement. Is there any problem leaving SB3 or transporter on for
long periods I wonder?

Mine are powered on 24/7, never any problems. In fact, if I ever have
problems, it's when I powercycle

It's been talked about before - the only component that wears is the
display. It grows dimmer with age

Does this happen even if the display is set to 0 (Dark)?

I think very slightly. Take a look at the display powered but at 0
brightess in a darkened room - you will see glowing red filaments.
These are the cathode filaments, see:
The same thing happened to my Transporter. Here is what the Slimdevices
folks had to say when they repaired it:
Your Transporter is homeward bound. The internal 5V supply had failed
and blew the fuse, after they were replaced I left it playing overnight
so hopefully the same thing won't

Mine died a few days ago. It was fine then it was dead. No response at
all, as per the other posts. I am due to return the unit to Slim

Well, I received a response from support - send it back. No other info
or suggestion that there may be a quality control issue, design fault,
or infant mortality problem with the power supply as has been suggested
above. I must say I'm a bit miffed at being asked to send it back to the
US myself.
