Electronic devices don’t last for ever, unfortunately. 
 

If I were you I’d generate a diagnostics report and contact Sonos support. 

Yeah. I do understand that electronics eventually breaks.

Its just a bit of a disappointment and surprise that a 6 year old premium speaker would already break.

Somehow I have a bit more expectation of longevity when I get a premium product.

Five years is my own expectation for all things electrical - I personally think you did okay, a Play:1/Sonos One each now cost less than my monthly electricity Bill for our ‘small’ 3 bedroom Home.

We don’t have access to failure statistics.

Many 2005 SONOS units are working fine, and some have failed. I’m estimating that 99% of the PLAY:1’s will last a decade or two at least. Unfortunately, it seems like you are in the 1%.

I planned to open the speaker during my vacation days and see what is wrong, but my whole vacation came andwent and I didnt get a chance.

So I just gave the faulty Play1 to a friend of mine together with the other Play1 i had. Told him that he could take a look at it and if he fixes it, they are his.

That night he screwed it open and it was just a loose cable.

So he is happy that now he has two Play1s to group with his Playbar.

And I used the situation as an excuse to buy myself another pair of PlayONEs.

So now i have 4 PlayONEs and 1 Playbar.

Everybody is happy.
