My Eurovox Max wont stay on, when i switch it on it only comes on for a second then go's off, then switches its self back on and cuts out again and so on. The lights on the front display are going crazy too, i can get it in standby but the front display is still messed up when i do. What could be the problem? is it something to do with power board thing, as i had to replace that over a year a go, but my box was completely dead then.

There must be somebody who can help me on here please?, its a nightmare having no tele lol, some one must be able to point me in the right direction i just need an idea of what could be wrong.

My box seems to still stay on if i keep flicking through the channels, but when i stay on one channel it will go off with in a few seconds and keep switching its self back on and off.

Hi m8 check the c14 cap for bulging or leeking

thanks for the reply, funny enough i just tried it this morning and it seems to be working fine now, but obviously there still must be something wrong with it for it to do that right? or could it be the weather or something which i strangely heard from someone lol, but if it was the bad weather surely it would only be the signal that is messed up, not the actual box itself.

I did check for bulging capacitors but there was nothing i noticed and usually you can smell for over heating i think, but there was nothing at all that seemed wrong inside.
