    My kryptview A780 gone pop before i buy another any other suggestions

    Just got home my Kryptview A780 completley dead, not the fuse in the plug, no power in box at all, lights etc dead, PCB probably gone. Or is there another fuse somewhere inside the box that might have blown? Anyway Ive had it for over a year occassional freeze etc same as anyone else it seems, and generally really pleased I bought one, but before I buy another has anyone any suggestions on a better system? Better box? or shall I just replace?
    Thanks

    Go sat if possible. Much more open, more options, and you arnt stuck with one server (like you are with kv)

      the question was how can he fix his box
      try unplugging the ribbon lead from psu to main board and refitting you often get a bad connection there there is a wickman fuse on the psu or try to find another psu

          How many servers does one need?

              Actually if you read it again, the question was should he/she buy another kv or something else.

              @mic260 - Its not about how many servers you need. Its just that if the server goes tits up then you just move onto another. Whereas you'll have to get a whole new box if kv stop.
              Also with a smaller server your likely to uncounter less problems.

                  Better than KV too in respect to no freeze etc!

                      there are not too many hd cable boxes working unless you do alot of digging and find a hidden supplier!
