    Black screen

    Today, the screen goes black ans the Boom stops.
    I have this 2 or 3 times.
    Sometimes, I can see time and date, muscic ontinue to play, then display return normal.
    My wifi was ok (using another wifi device during this time).
    So what happened to my Boom to go to black screen ? When off, it should show time and date at least.
    Any idea ?

    If I remember correctly, when you drop signal to an SB, you'll lose the clock display as well, as it relies on the network for that...although the Boom has the built in clock for backup, so I'm not sure about that.

    Anyway - you might look into connection issues between Boom and wifi - even though your other wifi devices work fine, the SBs are more much dependent on a reliable connection. I used to have issues getting FLAC to stream to my SB3 (too many walls between router and the SB3) and a laptop in the same room as the SB3 had no difficulty - becuase the volume of data was far less.
    A Touch + Cambridge DAC Magic has replaced my venerable SB3. May it rest in peace.
