DS 9800w blinking red

[stefwie]

oh dear,
this seems to be a common problem in the last months!

just had the same 2 days ago and about to throw the most expensive airplay speakers because i purchased them from a US online store (apple) and had them shipped to Dubai, but in the time between me and the speakers are living in Qatar now.

dear philips robot, what to do now? please advise!

As written in this thread, Unplugg and plugg back in. If this does not help then you have to check with service...

not from the leaflet of Ds9800s, but from my other audio product. maybe you can give it a try.

Hi everybody from Spain.

Today I've had the same problem. I've talking to a guy from philips support for and hour and he couldn't help me.
But, while I was talking to him I was turning the speaker on and off every four or five minutes always with the same result. But suddenly the green light has begun flashing slowly. I have reset the speaker by pressing for five seconds the on-off button and... it works perfectly.
I haven't done anything else. Be patient because if it has happened to me, I'm sure it will happen to you.
Oh yes, I've done two things more: screaming to the speakers like I was crazy and threatening them with throwing them from the sixth floor where I live in

Hi
I'm having the same connectivity problem as everyone else. Red LED flashing, and I'm not able to connect to the wifi.
Worked fine for aprox 5 months, and all of a sudden, dead!

What to do?

[staale.nov]

...by the way, I've tried all solutions in the troubleshooting guide, all tips from this forum, but nothing works, just a RED LED flashing...

Then it is time to contact your local support since it looks like a service intervention is needed

Hello,
I have the same problem. So, I have to contact my local support ?

[kwinnie]

Oh dear had my speakers less than a day and this morning it's the dreaded flashing red light which doesn't resolve on unplugging, looks like I'll be heading back to the shop for a refund. You would have thought there would be a factory reset or something...It's hard to fathom whats gone wrong

Glad I joined the thread though

Cheers

Thanks for warning! Almost buy it.
Is there any firmware update on the way??

[Torphie]

The most recent firmware was released at the end of March and you can download it from the Philips site. I belive its country specific as well so make sure you visit the correct Philips website to download it.... Latest version: 3.8.88.1000, 2012-03-31

The shop replaced my speakers and they have passed the 24hr test.....

Cheers

[plazm]

24 hours without connectivity problems?

[Torphie]

Tlast pair worked fine but but showed the dreaded red flashing light the morning after I set them up, this pair is still working fine and will hopefully continue to do so, hence the 24hr test.....

[plazm]

I have many doubts... There is no place for compromise
