Yesterday a fault has suddenly developed on my 16 month old Humax Foxsat HDR connected to a Sony KDL40 lcd tv
On all channels (HD and SD) any bright colours (i.e. faces) have a metallic tint on them
Every five minutes there is a light strobing on the screen with horizontal white lines that lasts for 10 – 15 seconds
This also happens with playing back recordings from the 1TB internal drive and an external USB drive
The fault is there on HDMI and scart output from the Humax box
The recordings play ok on my pc via Raydon’s Media & File Server bundle
I’ve read through several posts regarding the capacitor overheating problem but can’t find any reference to my problem.
Has anyone got an idea of what could be causing the fault?
My machine is out of warranty (the Humax Warranty certificate only ran for 1 year – purchased from Play.com) but as a last resort I’d have to send back to Humax for repair.
I've tried a factory reset but the screen flashing is still there even on the menu screen
