I'm sure the problem cannot be too bad. The display works, the things boots (then crashes) and it's not fixed by changing to another power supply or when the wireless module is removed. Someone should have an idea...
Thanks,

Have you tried the Xilink reset that Mnyb suggested last month? Your posts since then don't indicate whether you have or not.

software resets don't work...
Does anyone have a repair manual? Maybe someone from the original SlimDevices guys?

Sounds to me like one of the internal voltage regs is faulty and is shutting down soon after boot.
You should post in the DIY forum if you want to get soldering...You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...

Diy is the best bet
Repair manual ? come on it's a single circuit board cheap consumer device, ce got repaired in the 70's .
When it had warranty they tossed the whole board in the recycling bin and replaced it .
I can write a SB classic repair manual
If main board broken replace with a new one
If wifi card is broken replace with a new one
If PSU broken replace with a new one
If VFD is broken replace with a new one
If in doubt give the consumer a new SB Classic and scrap the whole unit.
Joking aside these DIY'rs might know .
What could exist as documents is a circuit diagram has anyone leaked one of those ?

In the good old days you didn't have to ask for one, they always came with the instruction manual.

A circuit diagram would be nice...
I believe the problem is not serious, yet it's difficult to debug in the dark. Seems like there are several SB's with the same symptoms. There must be someone who has some ideas. If I had a circuit diagram, I might have some luck and I would tell the world the scoop.
