Hi guys i have a eurovox max v 2008 version and sky one was jerky so i got annoyed and started hitting the box and it was okaii. Then a few minutes later it went jerky again so i dropped it and the sparks came out of the back of the box and the power went of in the house so i am thinking has the power supply gone?

Help will be apreciated

I assume it was plugged in when you through it against the wall for sparks to come out of it. The RCD in your house will have tripped and needs reset.

what do you mean? Because i have power back in the house i just went to the electric box in the house and switched the flick up and the power was back on. But when i try too plug my box in theres no power or ligths on it.

what would be best?

take a good look inside the box and see what was blown m8.

New box, it probably can't be repaired and if you could it would be expensive
