After a good year of pretty much faultless use my V5 seems to be dead or at least totally unresponsive. Is there a way to “safety pin” it back or is it a lost cause? It was running the latest software and kodi and was last seen playing with light sabres a few days ago.
I have tried the obvious like power out then in after 30 seconds, trying the remote but there isn’t much else to try. If this is the case do I need to send it back for some magic re-incarnation or are we looking at a replacement? It also does not show in the routers ip addresses. Perhaps a power supply issue? I need to check that actually.
Unfortunately not the power supply, measured with a voltmeter, its giving 5.3v. I haven’t got a USB to USB type a cable to see uf its the power circuitry somehow So anything else to try?
Just tried it again with power supply in and then out and back in. It does appear dead unless its an HDMI output issue as there is no video signal either.
Forgot to say no lights at all even on the optical connector.
The problem many times when power supplies fail, is that they lose the ability to maintain voltage while under load. Checking static voltage with a meter does not rule out the issue unfortunately.
After purchasing another 5v 3A power supply and plugging in we have nothing unfortunately. I think itsreally is the v5 unit that has gone awol. Unless we have any other ideas I think it needs returning. Next steps please
Hiya … firstly I do know its a Vero V (I made an error on the blue cross light on the front) as I own both a V4+ AND a V5. It was late and I wasn’t thinking properly. I have now ordered a male to male USB A cable to test what can only be the final test for power.
So anything else to try?
