The usual 3 problems with SB3/SB Classic 1. PSU failure - a PSU may look to be OK (e.g. measure voltage when unconnected) ) but cannot deliver correct volts/amps when running. Replacement PSU are cheap if you cannot test suspect PSU with another SB Classic - it is worth buying. If there is no red light in optical connection - then PSU is definitely faulty. 2. WLAN failure - there is a WLAN card for Wifi. If this fails (even if Wifi not used) - thensscreen goies dark. The WLAN card is socketed and can be removed easily (only require a Torx T10) and SB Classic can be tested using Ethernet connection. Replacement WLAN cards are cheap although a bit harder to find. now. http://lowtek.ca/roo/2011/squeezebox-classic-repair/ 3. Capacitors - there are a number of capacitors in SB Classic which are prone to fail - they are "easy" to replace but you need soldering skills - otherwise there are good instruction on Web which can be given to a repair shop.
