I returned from my holiday a few weeks ago and noticed that my Slingbox Solo was no longer connecting to the network.<\/p>\n
The power light was lit, but the network light was blinking with a dim light every 5 seconds or so.<\/p>\n
It turns out that my power supply had died. Luckily the box is still under the 2 year warranty (Thanks for the EU – Only 1 year in the US!). So I called Sling support and they agreed to send out a free replacement.<\/p>\n
A week went by and still no replacement power adapter. I called again and asked them to chase the order. And unsurprisingly 2 days later the power supply arrived.<\/p>\n
But this wasn’t the end. It turns out the replacement adapter was ALSO dead!! Sling Media obviously haven’t heard of something called ‘Quality Control’ – you know, where they test it to make sure it works before giving it to the consumer…<\/p>\n
Another phone call later, and they agreed to send me out another adapter… We’re still waiting for that one.<\/p>\n
UPDATE: the new supply arrived, and all works fine. I wonder how long this one will last?!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
