Squeezebox v3 randomly reboots and breaks music

[trixpan]

Hi,

I have a SB3 randomly rebooting while playing audio. I've tried to run it over PowerLine ethernet but the issue remains: After a while playing a stream of audio, the player reboots and after it starts, it displays a VU meter but no sound at all.

Another symptom is skipping chunks of audio out of FLAC + cuesheet, as if the FLAC file is corrupt. Tested the FLAC and it is ok, in fact re-playing the song will almost always return in playback without issue.

Any suggestions on what could be and steps to fix?

Cheers

Check for a loose power connection on SB3, just wiggle the power input. Or might be a failing power supply/wall wort.
The WiFi board in the SB3 is known to cause issues if it is bad or loose. Try opening the SB3 and removing it, just running wired.

Toby,

I've tried to remove the wireless card and to check the power connection as well but got no luck.

Will try to find another power supply to test.

Thanks!

Where are you located? Might just get lucky (long shot) that a user here sees your need to try a PSU and may be near you to borrow one.
Ya never know.
