Skybox M3 stuck in a bootloop. boots -> L001...L100 -> STYP -> reboot (boot loop)

[fish77]

got a similar problem

the box will boot to 100 then either pause for a few seconds and loop back to 0 or just freezes, it's happened twice now and will eventually start up if i keep trying it, it's taken about 30 minutes to get it started today but it's working fine now and i'm in two minds about putting it in standby now whenever i go out or go to bed

then only thing i've done is upload aj's latest channel list and put a cline in, the firmware is 3601hd_01_05_2013_0951 and was already on the box when i bought it

Your problem is different. Your problem has some in comum with my problem. The capacitors start to "die" and them problems starts.... In my case i had a firmware problem cause capacitor failed at the moment that ROM was writing. In your case, is only capacitor problem. Either ADD (easier to add) high capacity capacitor (I added the biggest I had 3300uF) in parallel at 1,8V (not sure) that is memory power supply. If you could, add to others voltages too. This box is really bad in terms of capacitors. Hope that helps.
