      Yes & it's their nice price aswell for a call out charge.

      I would unplug at the wall & leave for 1 min, then plug back in.

      Then wait another 1 min with the red light on, then press the
      sky button & it should then come on.

        ITS THE ELECTORLIC CAPS IN THE POWER SUPPLY BLOW IF YOU OPEN UP THE BOX YOU WILL SEE 2 TO 5 CAPS WITH BLOATED TOPS. IF YOU GET REPLACEMENT CAPS AND REPLACE THEM IT SHOULD BE BACK IN WORKING ORDER. YOU CAN GET THESE FROM MAPLINS. WARNING HIGH VOTAGE IN THE LARGE CAP DO NOT TOUCH OR GROUND THE PINS, STILL A COUPLE OHF HUNDRED VOLTS STORED WITH GIVE YOU A HELL OF A BELT.OR GET IT FIXED BY ENGINEER ABOUT ?30.00 DEPEND HOW GREEDY HE IS !
