I have a Play:5 (Gen 2) which does not connect via wifi or ethernet cable. Tried literally everything to connect and it is DOA.

What are my options? I would switch it to line-in auto play but you have to have a network connection unless there is a way to “log” into it and set it?

I’m assuming it is $500 trash brick, but thought I would ask.

I’m way past this as stated above, I have tried everything to get it to connect. Based on all the other community posts I have found it looks to be a faulty network card as it cannot be recognized via wifi or ethernet cable.

Thank you for your help.

Is there anywhere in the States that you could get it repaired? When I had a  damaged Play 5 G1 recently I found a small business in the UK that repaired it for me - at considerably lower cost than any of the official Sonos options. Maybe there’s someone similar where you are….
