Mend Thomson Box Reset

Thomson digi box will not turn on?

Occasionally I have to turn the power off at the wall plug to reset the digi box which then works OK. Last night this did not work so I replaced the batteries in the remote control, reset the digi box and it worked. During my viewing I turned the digi box off again and it would not restart even after trying to reset the box again by turning the power off at the wall plug.

Tried pushing in all connections but became frustrated in the end and just ended up watching the TV without the use of the digi box.

Any easy solutions would be greatfully received, otherwise I am more than delighted with my Thomson models which is now coming up to 3-4 years old.

Don't know if this will work for you, it did for me.

Turn it off at the plug. Turn it back on and ON THE FRONT OF THE BOX press 'Stand by' repeatedly before any lights appear.

As soon as lights show press 'up' 'down''left' and 'right' on the front of the box.

I know already done that.
I'll put all of it.

1.Check all connection at rear of unit.
2.Check RFin connection, Ensure cable to TV are inserted correctly.
3.Select Av channel on TV set.

No power? well need I say?
That's it folks have a nice day!
