Whilst the Hurrah may seem an odd title I am actually quite happy that one of my Sonos units seems faulty after some 15-years of service delivering a daily alarm of music into the kitchen every morning. It could have broken some 13-years ago and been out of warranty. The other 11 zones continue to operate.
“It’s dead Jim but not as we know it” was my alternative title.
Symptoms
- Seems to upset all the Sonos units if plugged in on ethernet
- Flashing White Light turns static when on wireless
- Does show on router with correct reserved IP
- Does respond to a ping
- Shows up on Matrix but named undefined
- Doesn’t show on CR200 or Sonophone App
We run on a locked 8.4 network with VLANs, but it is picking up the right IP and therefore the right VLAN.
Any suggestions on next steps to resurrect or confirm dead would be welcome. Will a reset require a Sonos App of correct vintage. I have both phone and desktop Apps that should be able to be restored if need be. And I think I need to restore one of those to run a diagnostic.
Cheers Dave
