not sure what version it is it just says thebox on the front, i have looked and i think it is not a clone.

the box is starview 2 make sure you have correct software on. Sounds like bad flash try to download latest software again by turning off box bring up download on computer,Press download then turn on box this may take many attempts to do this is bad flash method.

More than likely the C11 capacitor is the problem. Martinf has a photo somewhere of how to change it. I could post how but the picture says it all.

Martin if you see this can you update the 10V to 16V as it is better, cheers.

i used a 16 v but that what came out i have been told not to go over a 16 v do not know how true this is ?
but mine has been fine for 4 months or so at the time of repair you could not get a 10v from maplins 16v works fine

I have always used 16 volt also. I have heard 25 volt is ok too but I will always stick with 16 volt. I would avoid 10 volt to prevent future problems.
