Hi All,
I'd appreciate some feedback on the problem I have with my Panasonic digibox. It's a model TU-DSB30, several years old.
After giving reliable service, it crashed one day and refused to reboot - Just showing the red 'power' led. Nothing on the remote or front panel working. No other led's showing. After lots of unplugging, checking cables, batteries, waiting till it cooled down etc, it still didn't work.
I tried booting with the card out and backup button pressed, but still got just the single red led.
After lots of playing, I booted it with the front panel 'power' and 'select' buttons pressed, and when I released them, it came back to life - searched for listings and worked fine again, no problems. But...After leaving it in standby overnight, it had crashed again.
I have found that getting the reboot works sometimes, but mostly not. Don't know if my combination of buttons is real or not, or if I have been lucky to 'catch' it somehow. Stupid thing is, the digibox works perfectly when it does come on.
Before I scrap it, I would like to know if it really is the box at fault - or the dish. Or if there is a cure!!
Thanks in advance,
Steve
