New power supply arrived this morning. After plugging it in, there followed a few seconds of disappointment while nothing happened, followed in turn by the Logitech logo and everything being hunky-dory. Thanks again everybody! I have a working SB2 again, and for less than a tenner too. -- sm

Sure, that one looks fine. When it's even marketed as a power supply for a SB2 then it's a pretty good bet it will be the right specs. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View t

What country are you in? Because if you want to get a new power supply there are some places where you can have more certainty of selection/specs than eBay. People have recently posted links that should be easy to dredge up for you. A basic switching supply (like the original) should be available

Wifi board removed, the unit still pines for the fjords. I can see no illumination anywhere, so it's not looking good. Since I can't find another power supply in the house that's 5V (let alone fitting the other requirements aubuti was kind enough to give) my next step is ebay for a new plug. Th

At least with SB3's, there have been many cases of a bad wifi card, which keeps the unit from functioning at all - removing the wifi card often allows the unit to function correctly (albiet without wifi capability). -- tcutting ---

Before you get a new psu power it up in a dark room to see if the heater wires in the vfd are glowing. This will tell you power is getting to the unit. Next try taking out the wifi card as a faulty one can make the squeezebox appear to be dead. -- bazzman ---

My venerable Squeezebox 2 is starting to die on me, and may have already done so. I see nothing on the screen (and have tried changing the brightness). Is there an easy way to tell if it's the screen at fault or if the whole box is dead? I recall when I bought the SB2 some years ago that I had
