    My box is broken (no surprise there)...

    One red light....Warranty is up...€150 to fix...no thank you

    Thought it might be a problem with the AV cable...but I tried it with one I know for a fact is working...no result

    Therefore, I have come to the conclusion it's a problem with the ana chip...
    Does anyone know anything about this chip ?? i.e. how I can pinpoint the problem
    , possible fixes or if anyone knows where I can get a replacement...

    Please don't post the towel trick... ::)

    So do you have "the red ring of death" or something else?

    Its not the ring of death as such...

    I have one red light...which indicates hardware failure
    The ring of death is three red lights and indicates multiple hardware failure...

    If it was the ring of death, I would have no problem as the extended warranty would apply...

    Somehow I think if I tamper with the hardware they'll know...

    And yes, I tried the towel...

    How about you leave it on in a confined space for a little while and see what happens..
