Dead tm twin

[kendo75]

Hi guys got home from worked fired up the box and nothing!!!!! All I get is starting scrolling on the front and nothing else. The internal fans not spinning and I've no display,tried reflashing but doesn't recognise usb stick. Any ideas?

[Stanman]

Do a full format on the stick especially if you had it formatted as ext3/4 and than retry.

Had the same thing happen to me.
Tried all the suggestions. Did not work.
Send it back to Technomate they replaced mine.

Tried that stanman tried different sticks as well. Just continues to scroll starting on the front display,I reckon tm are the next port of call,I doubt they'll replace it as its 18 months old but a repair is hopefully cheaper than a new box

Ring TM. They may need to JTAG it.

They are normally very good at after sales support.

I found TM to be terrible after service especially the guy in charge Richard who is the most arrogant and obnoxious person I have ever spoken to.

Abu what's Jtag?

[abu baniaz]

Program the motherboard.

I see,it may be a bit more than that,as it was very hot the internal fan wasn't working and when I took the casing off one of the capacitors/chips on the power supply looks scorched around it

[nsw9154]

well that seems to be the cause of your problem it seems like the power supply has gone, and not knowing the receiver can not give you any reliable info sorry

[kendo75]

Still powers up front display but that's it,we had one hell of a storm yesterday and I think we had a power cut. The surge may of damaged it ,it also fried my router. So all in all not a good day

[nsw9154]

it's things like this that makes that £50 anti surge multi socket that i bought seem worth it's money :rolleyes:

[kendo75]

It does indeed luckily it didn't fry the tv,sound system, ps3 or ps4

[nsw9154]

that was Lucky mate I hope you can get it sorted soon but it's sounding terminal

[kendo75]

Sent back to Tm,Main board fried, power supply suspect,£120 for repairs!!! Cheaper than a new box though

[kendo75]

Regarding a previous comment about TM after sales I couldn't fault it,box collected Monday,received by tm Tuesday,phone call Wednesday to inform me of problem and repair cost,box delivered back to me Thursday
