    Check the C11 capacitor on the PSU board.

    have checked the c11 capacitor and all looks fine, have looked on other threads for what i am looking for and all seems fine ????
    the cross on the top is very visable and no leakage around the bottom. all of the look fine. anything else i can check ?

    No problem but I would change the C11 I understand it looks fine but for the outlay of 50p its worth it ;)

    Did you make sure polarity was the same when you replaced the cap. Have you tried a factory reset and reflash?

    sorry to sound dumb but what is the polarity ? the capacitor i put back in was exactly the same as the one that came out ?
    i cant do a factory reset because i cant bring up the menu screen and i dont know how to reflash,i think i may have to do this how do i do it ?

    hi guys still having problems with this bloody box !!
    i have now downloaded the correct firmware onto the box and when i connect it to the tv i cannot find the menu screen when i search for it but very randomly when i do search for this menu screen i find other channels like eurosp*rt etc. also the control is working but only showing 20 channels. how do i find the menu screen to sort out channels and put emu on etc ?
