I think my Sonicveiw 8000HD overheated. It powers up from the back switch but no digital display on the front panel. Is there a thermal fuse that is suppose to protect it? It's under a year old but does not have the factory bin or ROM file in it. What can I do?
Thanks,
Doug

What file is in the receiver and is it working with no display?

The last file was the one released right before N3. I get no signal to the TV.

So that probably means you have not used the Ihub and you have not used your receiver in some time.Try loading latest factory file with pc loader.If you do not see downloading in front of receiver give your pc extra time after download is complete.

I don't have a I Hub. My problem is the Sonicview 8000HD that blew a thermal fuse or something. It powers up from the back switch, can hear the fan running, but it does not show anything on the front panel display or have any output to the TV set. I went to watch my recorded movies that I recorded before N3 took all the channels out. All I seen on the front display was a scrambled "BOOTING" when I rebooted the receiver from the back power switch. Now it doesn't display anything.

Turn the rear power on and make sure the switch shows on(little line on switch should be in).Push STB on remote then enter the default code 0000 on the remote and see if it finishes boot up.Let us know.

That didn't do anything so I unplugged it then plugged it back in. Now the display says "BOOTING" but it just stays there, no boot and no video.
