sky top box

[Pebbles]

My Sky Top Box has decided to stay on standby, ie the red button is on all the time. Neither pressing the remote control Sky button , or using an old fashioned finger pressing the button on the box wil make it go green.

Any ideas ?????

Thanks

Try disconnecting power lead for a few minutes.

Hi there

Tried that, left them disconnected for the day, in a vague hope that might work but no such luck.

Happened to me a couple of weeks ago - it's not an old Amstrad is it??

After much googling I decided that some of the electronics had overheated and was knackered. I bought a replacement from ebay for �25 though so not all bad!

Thanks Hammer, it is a Sony, about 6 years old, so I suppose we have been lucky so far.
