Gigablue LCD not working correctly

[martin20009]

Hello All,

I hope I am posting this in the correct area. I have an issue with my LCD. It started after updating to Vix Apollo Build 64. The LCD would not dim and now it shows nothing, i.e in standby no clock and and switched on blank. I have re flashed and the lcd is split in half and once rebooted nothing.

I have searched the forum and to be honest I have confused myself with different settings. The current settings are as standard from a flash. I honestly think the lcd has popped but would like a second opinion really. I have posted 2 photos to give everyone an idea what I am looking at. I have flashed the box with the latest build of 71 and 70 but no difference hence the hardware issue rarther than image.

Thanks for reading

I'm pretty sure I had this a while ago and it resolved itself - other than that is the box working normally? change the settings in Menu -> System Settings -> LCD (I think that's the correct path) and switching between displaying default, picons and mini tv, does the LCD screen react to any of these changes?

Hello,

I have tried that and no the screen doesn't react. The box is working ok apart from that. I have a second box working ok and even tried using a backup created from that with no luck.

I just worry the screen doesn't dim even with the lcd brightness turned off.

Do a complete fresh re-flash of latest build, do not restore any backups.

I got that on my GBUE sometimes.After I put receiver in deep standby and turned on problem was solved.

It happen to me that while playing with the remote, the LCD went blank. I put it in deep standby and switched the box off for about a minute, and it reappeared when rebooting.

Hello all,

Thank you for your advice, I will try a full reflash later and report back.

The same thing happened to me on build 64 the screen looked exactly like the one in your photo. I tried rebooting a few times which didn't work so I removed the cover and started up the box then I unplugged the screen then plugged it in again and it's been working perfectly from that.

[martin20009]

I reflashed it again with the latest build didn't restore anything with no difference. I had left the box switched off over night and its working perfectly again.

I will remember this for next time. Thank you all for your help.

I had this problem and shutting down and pulling the power out, waiting a min and putting it back in then rebooting fixed it for me.

Just for the record!! It's a known hardware failure from GigaBlue and got nothing to do with image DEV's.

Never underestimate the power of the off/on button.
