Hey all,
Had a H2.H for nearly 2 years , running wooshbuild 4.001. I know the build is a bit out of date but its been working fine for my needs so haven't updated it.
Anyway starting about a month ago I noticed it would crash at random times. when it happens the screen goes black and the box becomes completely unresponsive. I have to turn it off at the back and reboot it and then all will be fine for .... well a random amount of time. But then over the last few weeks I noticed it was happening more frequently to the point now where at best it will boot up and play a channel (all channels work) for maximum a minute before crashing. Sometimes it can be 10 seconds, sometimes it doesn't even complete the boot up sequence. Every single time , there is a very short burst of static noise, black screen and box goes unresponsive.
(When it only happened now and again it could crash both when watching it or when in standby.)
So today I plugged it in at my dads house who has an identical set up to me and it behaves exactly the same there (his box is working fine) as it does at my house, so surely that rules out my cables or my PSU being at fault. Also, I checked the USB stick, booting up with it both in and out and again that made no difference.
If I had to guess it seems hardware related and therefore I'm reluctant to flash it with a new build in case it crashes during the flash and bricks the box.
Anyone had this problem? I've done a search but not found any similar issues, does anyone has any ideas what it might be or things to try ?
