Squeezebox Touch in Endless "Verify Ethernet Connection" Loop After Factory Reset

[GB_Joe]

Thanks mrw! I've just ordered one on eBay. Fingers crossed!

Glad I found this thread after running my SBT into the same „Verify Ethernet Connection“ loop, so thanks for the solution provided here.

My Wifi is dead, too (hardly ever used it). There seem to be other side effects, my SBT refused to connect to a new server or mysb, that‘s where my troubles started.

Some days ago I bought a second (used) SBT for another room - maybe the first one got jealous ;-)

Hello,

Just SOLVED the SBT endless "Verify Ethernet connection" looping screen appearing after having reset a wired SBT (FW 7.8.0 r16754) the following way:

• copy the file http://update.slimdevices.com/update...7.3_r16676.bin to a FAT-formatted (old) SD-Card
• rename that file to fab4.bin
• insert the SD card in the "looping" SBT, which reacts with a menu (with FW-Upgrade among other items !)
• select firmware upgrade to FW 7.7.3 r16676 OK

Thereafter it reloads the old firmware, then the SBT reboots normally, asking for the mysqueezebox account parameters...

Meaning that the SBT is back, running (although with a quite older release).

Hoping this workaround may help.


Kind regards
Pierre
