Before flashing the firmware, if you haven't already tried it, boot the box with the LNB cable removed. It may be a short circuit in the LNB lead.

It could also be due to a failing PSU. If you have another PSU with the same voltage & polarity, & with the same or greater current (amp) rating, then give that a try.

happened to me, but i didnt upgrade firmware, just the channel list so beware, keep a null cable handy
