Default Funny display on startup!

Hello!

My Pace box is showing funny signs instead of PACE when t starts up and doesn'tgo further! Its gets stuck!

It was working so far, nothing changed. What could it be?

Thanks

reset the box by pulling the red jumper indide the box and do funcard to set the net id again then get the box to update, see if that helps.

The box was working fine. I think its something to do with electric power! When its starts, instead of pace it displays something like this.

you can open the box and check the cable that connects display to the main board if it came loose.

The issue is not just the display but the box does not startup! All the cables are fine inside! I think the issue is of power leakage! Does anyone know about this?

Check for any leaking/bulging capacitators.
