ZP90 Dead or Dying?

Guys we have a long established Sonos network.
As part I use a ZP90 (which) is hardwired to the router to drive a B&W zeplalin speaker.

This speaker is the least used in the house.

In trying to use it yesterday it did not appear as a speaker in the Android app.

So i have tried to add it (as a connect as ZP90 not listed as an option) i have tried new ethernet cable, no eithernet cable, power cycles and a factory reset (which it does not seem to do as no lights on front).

Any suggestions?

On a side note the system did a wobble yeaterday, loosing all conectivity requiring speakers to be re added, by hardwire of one speaker to the router.
I mention this as the ZP90 was the original hardwired connection (yes i know this not required for some time but it is an old setup). This may be indicative of the ZP90 dying and a new mesh being required.

    A call to Sonos support might be worth the time, if they can't get it working maybe they could get you a deal on a replacement.

    Unlikely. There would be hundreds of posts here if that were the case, with all sorts of caterwauling. It probably was at its end of life, and the reboot process kicked it over.
    My ZP90 died a couple of weeks ago as well. Maybe this is due to an update.Or is there a built-in end-of-life?
    Ethernet lights blinking like crazy. I used the ZP90 (other than with my Sonos speakers) to feed music through to my (Devialet) receiver using the cinch and optical ports. What choice do I have to use Sonos app to send music through to the receiver via wire?

    There is no forced EOL for ZP90. This is a hardware issue. CONNECT replaces ZP90. CONNECT is simply a renamed ZP90. Only the product label was changed.

    If you visit a large service facility you'll see piles of a given model and each model usually fails in a unique characteristic pattern that changes with the model's age. It's similar to a hospital situation where, at this time of year, "everyone" has the measles or the flu.
