the box turning of

hi ive had my box for about 18 months got the latest software on it the last few days its been turning of coming back on but freezing then the picture disapears and all i can see is a purple & green screen and on the box screen no numbers just a green line - i turn it of & on from the back comes on for about 5 sec the same keeps happening is it the end of my box any ideas

 

You aren't making it very clear what box you have there, or what software you have loaded onto it.

 

sorry mate i have the starview 2 the box ive got 454eE have had it on for over six months this only happened 4 days ago

 

somebody please help

 

Have you tried a factory reset and reflash?

 

yes mate tried that trid that was fine for a few hours wont stay on long enough to try again

 

Could be a capacitor problem on the PSU, haven't changed one on a SV2 yet though. Bring it to your local TV repair shop and they will see any faults.

Although I have seen your problem before and a reflash worked.

 

scouser mate stuck on that green light - wont let me flash box

 

As said it could be a cap fault. But try the boot flash method here

 

scouser mate it stayed on long enough to reflash fingers crossed all fine so far cheers mate let you know if anything changes

 

Best of luck

 

scouser mate it just started rebooting again went on & of a few times know its stuck on one green line - with a purple & green picture

 

Try a reflash with an earlier firmware revision, after that as said it could be a hardware fault.

 

if its a hardware problem any ideas on getting it fixed

 

Try a pre 4.52 firmware first Do a factory reset after falsh and turn key emu back on and scan again. Hopefully its not a hardware issue.

 

thanks scouser mate just flashed 451eE done a factory reset turned emu on fingers crossed mate

 

scouser mate seems to have worked no problems yet do u know if it will update when we have a key change if i put 4.54 back on will it be ok thanks mate for all your help

 

Welwyn, if its working for you just now leave it alone!!!
No need to go back downloading the 4.54
and yes it should update automatically!!

 

Guys I have 2 box supers with the same problem. I've tried re-flashing (including boot flash method) with every f/w version but still no joy. I'm now presuming that the problem is hardware related.
Sc0user you referred to a capacitor issue. I have seen this referred to briefly before in other threads but I have been unable to find any good info on this problem.
If anyone knows where there is any good info on this issue could they please post a link. Cheers.
