Box has died???!!! - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

I flashed to the new firmware this morning, and managed to get all the channels sorted, and in correct order.

I came to turn the box on this afternoon, and it's dead.

No LED display, and no picture on TV.
I've checked the fuse, and taken top off the box, but nothing smells burnt..

Anyone have any ideas???

yep...its dead by the sound of it....how old is it??

It's 3 months old.

It's dead

I tried it a few times now, and it came on once, and said ON - but had then had " - - - - " on the LED, and after that once, I haven't been able to get it back on.

Are the boxes covered under warranty if it's been flashed?

Could the flash have caused it? I watched it working for about 3 hours this morning, and came to watch this afternoon, and won't turn on.

Check fuse etc if all fails contact supplier ,should get a replacement

The fuse was the first thing I checked.
It had a 5amp fuse it it, but the plug said 3amp?? I replaced it with a 5amp, but still nothing.

looks like I'll have to contact supplier, and try and get it replaced.

If it wasnt designed to be flashed, surely it wouldnt have the port, would it?
