Sonos Connect repair

[Bterrier]

I was given a broken sonos connect by a friend. It wont power on.

He opened it up and soldered a black and gray wire together he said came apart. Im unsure if these wires are even meant to be connected.

I also see an area on the power input board that may be suspect. I will upload photos later tonight.

Can anyone give me some insight on this unit? Advice? similar issues?

Re: Sonos Connect repair

See attached photos of power supply board. This is what I thought the issue was....due to some areas of the board not looking so good.

After removing the board I powered it up to check voltage outputs. Vo9tage is good coming off thhe board, so I don't believe this is the issue.

The gray/black wire soldering I was writing about in the prior post is correct. It appears the wire broke and the black is just a patched piece of wire. Can anyone tell me where I can get a replacement gray wire?(I am unsure of the name/connector/size)
I think that wire is either a ground or wifi

Also from researching it appears the older models had a fuse mounted to the board. Not a glass fuse, a disc type soldered to the board.

I am unsure if this model has a fuse. Can anyone tell me if c12197 is a fuse. In my little experience, “c” usually indicates capacitor but it stood out to ke because of difference in color.

It's a tantalum capacitor. The green disc is an inrush limiter. The fuse is next to it covered in heatshrink.

I think you are referring to the components on the power supply board. I do apprciate you telling me what those components are because I would have never known there was a fuse on that board, but I believe that board is good. I have the correct voltage coming out of the board.

Im trying to see if there is some type of fuse on the larger boards. The older models had a fuse om those (see attached). Im not familiar with the look of components on these types of boards.
