Hi guys,
For several weeks now my Solo2 is having a strange problem whereby the standby menu pops up on the screen for absolutely no reason whatsoever. If I press [exit] on the remote control the screen goes blank for a split second and then shows the standby menu again. I cannot get this to go away and none of the buttons on the remote control will work. This is the same from my universal remote control. When the standby menu is on the blue circle light on the box begins to flicker. Here is a short video of the problem. You will notice that the box starting working correctly again towards the end of the video when the blue circle light dimmed.
The problem is vert much intermittent but is definitely getting worse. It happens almost every 20-30 minutes now; making the box almost completely unwatchable. Strangely, it works fine over Webif and using the Vu+ android tablet app. It streams video anc changes channel no bother at all.
I have tried new batteries, 2 separate remote controls, removing hard drives and pen drivers, flashing different images countless times (Blackhole and Open VIX), using stock firmware from Vu+ website etc. I cannot think of anything else to try and as it stands, my box is being returned for repair/replacement. I should also point out that sometimes the box will get stuck on starting and not even boot up at all. I would then have to switch it off for a few hours and then it seems to boot ok. If there's anything else you guys can suggest that may fix this I would appreciate it. Of course, I would prefer not to have to send my box away but at the moment it looks like I have no choice.
Here's a video cliip of me attempting to flash back to the original stock firmware, and yet again the box is stuck on starting, but notice the strange behaviour of the blue circle light. It is very bright and flickering and I have no idea what is causing it.
Really appreciate any help that can be provided. Thank you!
