Jean-Luc Posted September 8 Posted September 8 Just bought the u5, the light in the front goes from blue to red after 15mins or so... Is there a way just to have it stay blue and on? It stayed on and blue until I restarted it with my 4900... I checked the settings but can't seem to find that setting... I must be dumber than I thought... Thank you Quote
Emporium Posted September 8 Posted September 8 First of all, please post the firmware (V202xxxxxx) and software version (5.0.xxx) your box has installed presently. Should be able to find it in the Updates screen. Secondly, is this when you are watching something, or while it is idle at the home screen ? Is the TV connected still powered on, or powered off ? If using HDMI-CEC then the TV can trigger the box to go into sleep mode. Are you using the power supply that came with the unit ? The 4900 and the U5 (and P6) use a 12V power supply. Most other Buzz boxes use only a 5V. A 5V power supply will be able to start the box and be used for some things, but can cause undesired effects. And I still don't understand where the 4900 comes into play here. What does it have to do with the U5 ? Quote
Jean-Luc Posted September 8 Author Posted September 8 (edited) I'm using the power supply that came with the U5... It happens when not using it, just doing something else and leaving the box on... I'm just saying that it didn't do this with my 4900 when using my 4900 when leaving the box on when I wasn't home...sorry to confuse you... Edited September 8 by Jean-Luc Quote
Ryu Posted September 8 Posted September 8 did you modify your screen saver/energy saver options? Quote

Jean-Luc Posted September 8 Author Posted September 8 Powerkey definition only has suspend, restart and shut down.... I don't press the power button or any keys Screen saver I have set it to colors Thank you for your help...I'll just keep it as is... Just thought it was easy ... Quote
dishuser Posted September 8 Posted September 8 so you don't turn the box off and this happens? maybe you have cec turned on your tv and left it to default sleep Quote
sea157 Posted September 8 Posted September 8 What do you have your sleep function set to? I have mine set to NEVER. Quote
Jean-Luc Posted September 8 Author Posted September 8 I woke up this morning and my power light was still blue...yay!! The only thing I changed was screensaver to colors instead of turn off display energy saver was always set to never turn off display... Guess I figured it out somehow Have a great day! 2 Quote

Lawrence Calhoun Posted September 11 Posted September 11 My record feature suddenly stopped working. I program the end time and enter the program. Yet the red record indicator does not appear at the top right of the screen. When i go to listing the red indicator appear with a message that says searching for stream. But nothing happens. It does not record. But earlier this morning it worked perfectly. Quote
Emporium Posted September 11 Posted September 11 And you sure that the recording destination is still valid (ie: USB stick or drive has not crashed). Using MAC or XC ? Do you have multiple connections available ? If using XC, if you go to menu->settings->account settings and see how many connections max and active are listed. 1 Quote
Lawrence Calhoun Posted September 11 Posted September 11 I have SSD. I'm using XC. It says 2 connections with zero active. How do i get it to work? Quote
Lawrence Calhoun Posted September 12 Posted September 12 Thanks, Emporium, for putting me on the right track. My hard drive had crashed. I ejected my SSD. Rebooted then reinstalled the SSD and viola. It's running like a well-oiled machine again. Thank you, us computer illiterates need all the help we can get 2 Quote
