I am also glad that I found this interesting thread about non-working-IR-diode on the Squeezeboxes. I have 7 of these in my house on various places and a couple of the Duet and Touch.
After several of years of non-problematic use one of the Squeezeboxes had stopped reacting on commands from the remote controller. After reading through this thread I tested the problematic Squeezebox with my lab power supply that has good current supply at 5 VDC and it did not help. I ordered a couple of the Vishay TSOP32238 from a French eBay seller: 'http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172267599071' (Vishay TSOP32238) Using my desoldering station it was still somewhat a hassle to desolder to non-working IR-diode from the board. I think that it would have been easier if I would have first just cut the 3 small legs and then desolder the 2 bigger case legs. Anyway, I soldered in the new IR-diode (without the casing) and tested it with my initial PSU and voilaaaa! Remote control worked without any problems at all and from all kinds of bad angles and long distance. Thanks guys for the tip of using the TSOP32238. I did order some TSOP32240 as well but they haven't arrived yet so I haven't been able to test them but since the TSOP32238 seems to work fine I am happy. :D ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CrazyFin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35625 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103192 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
