My kryptview A780 which I have had since last august and was working perfectly has died, came home tonight switched on and there was just a zero on the display, switched off to restart and that went as well.

My box died last night, I could not even get into menu or anything? I tried the obvious i.e switch off and on a few times, I did a reflash and a rescan it works fine now! Just wondered if anyone else has had the same thing happen and why?

99.9% of the time leave it it will all come back. The 1% needs a ' cold boot ', that is not a switch off .. .. but taking it out of the mains power supply altogether.

No harm in helping people however small the problem may seem.
