    Completely fried my f3

    Cut through an outside light wire which resulted in the circuit breaker going off. Living room f3 now not showing anything and the eprom program doing nothing for it. Looks gubbed. The story gets better though....

    I took the f3's from the rooms which are working fine and plugged them into the living room..

    1. Just plugged into wall socket they boot up fine.

    2. Plugged into socket and dish is also fine.

    3. wall socket,dish,HDMI they boot to 100 and dont move from there. So don't work.

    Ive tried different HDMI cable and HDMI2 port still the same. TV working fine.

    Strange......

      Yeah,tried that. No joy at all. I done it with another box to make sure I was doing it right. I think I may have blown something in the box. I opened it up but can't see anything untoward..

              Here's the front LED but the USB is part of the Motherboard and not sold separately.
