[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 809428, member: 196043"] My parent's Sky DRX595 (the HD box with no hard drive) crashed the other day with a blank screen and just the audio playing. Normally, a power cycle sorts this out but this time when rebooted it wouldn't come back on. All it does now is show the "Sky please wait" message for a few seconds every 10 minutes or so and goes back to black as if it can't quite get past the first part of the startup sequence and tries again endlessly. The red standby light never turns green. I've tried booting it up without a Sky card (as suggested by someone on another forum), booting with just the power cable and HDMI plugged in, leaving it to cool down, leaving it cycling through the boot up phase for a hour, and even forcing a firmware update using the backup button at power up (which it seemed to do as normal with the usual "do not switch off for 10 minutes" etc thing). Anyone got any ideas on what else I could try or is it now a doorstop? It's only 10 months old so it's a bit disappointing for this to happen so soon especially as it's a very sensitive receiver.
