Suffered from loss of conection after 2-3 minutes. I opened my Solo and sure enough both 470uf capacitors were bulged. I replaced them with two 470uf 35V capacitors from Radio Shack and I am back up and running. My Solo was replaced under warranty 18 months ago, this was after my original one died after two months.

 

I am a realist when it comes to business, but Slingmedia should have acknowledged this issue by now. Their warranty model is unsutainable as it leads to bad will. I went out and purchased a Vulkano after my orginal Solo died and was using the Solo as a backup. I will not reccomend Sling to anyone. They have lost a cutomer for life. . .
