I've had mine for about a year. Worked fine until this problem appeared out of the blue. Basicaly as the thread says,its stuck in standby not responding to either button on fascia nor remote having any effect. I still have a CD and double ended 9pin lead which was supplied when bought,the lead has 'RoHS Compliant' on package. Bootle area-Virgin supplier. Being pretty much average in the tech department,please elaborate on any help advised. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Seeing as no-body is around at the mo, i might as well point you in the right direction. Search the forums here for "jtag" i think i'm correct in saying that's what you need to do. i'm sure Sc0user will be along soon to help you out a lot better than i can
Take a look at this thread http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/568689 May not help much, but there is a little info in there.
