Panasonic DSB 30 won't turn on??

Hi all!

In my quest for Sky, I've just recieved a Panasonic DSB 30 digibox. I've
connected it to the mains, and the red diode next to power on the front,
lights up!

However, It doesn't go beyond that. I can't turn it on, nothing happens!

It doesnt matter if I use the remote, or the front panel. If I use the remote,
nothing indicates on the front panel either....

Anything special I should do?

Thanks again,

Nicholas

It'a a common fault on this box with a 101 conspiracy theories as to why it happens. My parents' box died with this symptom during a thunderstorm. Can be repaired at around the same cost as a 2nd hand box so probably not worth it. Have a look here & you may find more info.

Thanks

Does anyone know what the cause of the fault is?

Thanks,

Heat, the micro will be knackered.

Beyond economic repair.

The conspiracy theories are cr*p.
