9000HD dead?

Yeah, mine did that after being unpowered for just a few days.
A general tip is to take it apart and unplug the cable for the display. Then turn it on and if it boots, replug the cable.
That worked for me 1 time.
Next time i unpowered it, i got the flash/ click again and none of the tricks you can google has worked since.
So if you ever get it working again... Never unpower.
Will post again, if i find the cause.

I have a similar problem with my box. I left it turned off for a month and when I turned it on it got stuck in Booting, then went to Epic fail. A serial log indicates that it is not communicating with the STARCI2WIN chip. I don't know if this can be repaired or if it is time for a new motherboard if I can find one.
Update
I sent my Motherboard off to this guy and he has replaced a chip and it is still with him on test.

Did you find a fix for the power problem? I have same kind of problem with my IP9000... Starts only without the display panel(black cables), if you reconnect it power will go off.
So your symptoms were same before the fix? One audio/video chip is STV6412BD located next to the tuners and SCART. Looks like DIY job if you can find the chip and are skilled enough... I think I will try try to fix my 9000 and get it back to life.
BTW, my new GigaBlue quad rocks!:clapping:

My chip had a slight burn on the surface which I originally thought was done by a soldering iron, but it turned out to be blown from the inside and had erupted to the surface.
It is the one with 16 legs on each of the 4 sides.
I finally found out how to post a picture:thum:

Hi
I´ve just bought a secondhand (dead) 9000HD for about 20 pounds.
Tought it was worth a try to by and fix it up.
As soon I got it home I took it apart and found a capacitor in the powersupply with a bulging top, C21 on the 5V rail.
I replaced it and the box started just fine.
Checked the others caps and soldering but found noting more direct in need to change, so I installed a HDD and put it together again.
So now my big problem is to learn how to configure the Diseq setup for my 8-way switch (I´m new to Linuxboxes).

Thanks to tvper! I got power also to my old box. C21 outside was looking just good but after I measured it got only 14pF. It should be 470µF/10V. Now when I put the power on I get one flash on the dox display and after that power button led starts to flash. Still something wrong...
Hi Jykke
I can´t bee shure but in my experience of PSUs I would try to change the high value caps (1000uF).
To test you could just solder new ones in parallel with the old ones, but be careful there´s high mains power i the board.
If one cap has lost capacitance the rest could easily done the same.
This is no shure answer but its a easy start in falutfinding.
When I mesured the 5V it showed ca 5V but I didnt check with my scope so I didnt se the overlayed high-frequency.
Do you get any light on the display?
Im still a newbie on Linux(-boxes etc) but flashing powerbutton could indicate problems with firmware?
