Hi, hope someone can help, I have this box for about 3 1/2 years now and have had problems on and off since the beginning, but today on trying to turn the box on Im having no luck at all. Blue light is on, remote is ineffective as are the buttons on the top, HDMI cable plugged into HDMI1 on Tv, but TV says no signal and counts down to auto switch off. Cant get anything on the channel at all, cant even go into settings, so cant even reset to default its totally locked. Any ideas please?

Any ideas please?Open the case, disconnect the hard drive power and data connectors. If the box boots as a non recording box likely needs a new hard drive.

Have you tried turning the power right off at the wall and then switching it back on after a few minutes? It sometimes works miracles.

There is lots of info on here that can be found using a google search.

Are the buttons really ineffective or is it that you can't see any effect because there is nothing on screen?
Does pressing the power on button on the remote or the box cause the blue light to become red (or vice versa)? If so it might be your HDMI connection is faulty.| Sun 2 Feb 2020 18:44:02 #7 |
