Sonos ZP100 dismantle and possible repair guide.

I bought a faulty Sonos ZP100 which had previously been opened. I therefore had no option of a Sonos repair or out of warranty exchange. I couldn’t find a guide to strip the unit down so worked it out myself. I have since written a guide which will hopefully help someone in the future but I accept no responsibility for any damage caused by following it. At the end of the guide I have written a small explanation of the repair needed for my unit which appeared to have suffered a power surge and no longer powered up. Please feel free to improve or alter the guide. Thanks.

    Thanks!
    Hope to never use it, but I like the effort.

    Great guide! My Sonos ZP100 also died in the exact same way. Can you tell me the part number of the burnt surface mount diode on the power supply PCB. Mine is not legible... Thanks!

    The original diode has CA 48 written on it and is a bidirectional type as seen in this data sheet :-

    I didn't fit an exact replacement and can't remember the part number but I hope this information helps.

    Thanks for the info! I found a similar part on DigiKey. Hopefully it will work! 🙂

    The replacement parts arrived, I installed them, and the ZP100 is back alive blasting music!

      The link to your PDF is dodgy - I don't see why I must install a "Download Manager" that also tries to install other stuff - I do not trust this one iota. I tried to cancel the installation but it then proceeded to install and run the thing - this is unnecessary.

      Downloading a PDF and viewing it requires nothing more than a standard browser.

      I found no such difficulty. Clicking 'Download' pops up the same dialog I always get with pdf's, offering to Open it in Acrobat or Save it to disk.

      I just tried the data sheet PDF and had no trouble. I'm using Firefox and the FOXIT PDF reader is linked as an addon. This file opened for view as any other PDF would open.

      The Mediafire PDF in post #1, however, did try to stuff me -- I declined.
