dishuser Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 the programs blink? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emporium Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Have you tried another HDMI cable ? Are you using the oiginal power adapter that came with the U5 ? Reason I ask, is because many people are in a rush to test out their new toy, and assume it uses the same power supply as previous boxes. But the U5 and the xrs4900 use a 12V power supply. All other boxes, it is 5V. So if you use the power supply from another buzz box, the box will not have enough power Just checking. Seen it happen many times.

Ray Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Hi, I have a xrs4500 that is doinoku T g this "blinking" thing. Meaning the picture would go blank then come back on. Now, the tv will not recognize the buzz box. It"s asking if it's turned on. The TV is TCL Roku TV. I'm using the original power cord and bought a new certified HDMI cable.

Ray Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I pressed it and held for 10 secs or so. Nothing seems to be happening. What is the proper procedure? Should I see the blue light turn off and on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emporium Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I have used a Qtip, and cut off one the cotton tip on one end. No sharp point Just be gentle with it. As you put it into the A/V, you will feel the resistance at about 1.5cm deep. You will then feel a soft click which is the reset button.

Ray Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I can't see anything from buzztv box on the screen. My screen just says "No Signal" Nothing happens when I do a hard reset. Although, I'm not able to put the box in recovery mode before the hard reset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
