Mr Tazz it sounds like the tuner has gone i had 1 similar before christmas and took it back to supplier who changed for a new one. Happy Days!

how about have a look inside to check all internal connections are good, also check for dry solder joints on the mainboard and if you have time run a hot soldering iron and fresh solder onto some of the existing solder joints and or connectors to refresh them.
i used to do this to old broken tvs back on the day and 95% it fixed em...

otherwise id bin it and give up!!
