I purchased my Bluesound N330 a little over 4 years ago, and now it has stopped working… Just flashing red LED, and I can’t connect to it. A factory reset results in the same issue. It seems to be a known and realtively common problem that the amplifier section or power supply suddenly fails and causes this behavior.

BUT after only 4 years for a premium product? That’s incredibly poor quality. I’ve had “low-quality” brands that lasted three times as long without any hardware issues.

Is repair possible? But spending money on an expensive repair (if it’s even possible) for something with highly questionable quality doesn’t feel right either—what if it breaks again soon?

  Hi,
  
  Looks like your POWERNODE went into PROTECT MODE - Bluesound Protect Mode.

  Disconnect all cables including speakers and let it rest for a few minutes and then power it back. If you continue to have issues, please feel free to contact our support crew by sending us an email at support@bluesound.com and we will help you.
