Ignite Box Boots then shows black screen.

[PatonB]

3 days ago when i turned on my TV I had just a black screen with a blue screen occasional for 1 sec.

reboot the box, it came on to say "Welcome...." but went black. Checked the hdmi cables and no change. Didn't have much time so I left it.

Next morning all was good, so i went on with life.

Today, same thing. black screen n flicker blue.

Today, I swapped cables and ports, swapped boxes with my other room and all the same. It boots up then goes black.

I am thinking maybe a res conflict, as it shows the boot but when it turns full res it won't. display. My tv says its at  3840*2100, my working tv is 1080p.

Any help/suggestions?

I had a similar issue when I migrated to IgniteTV. I found a solution by using a TV port with 30Hz instead of 60. See my post on the topic below:

Make sure you use the HDMI cable that comes with the IgniteTV box.

It has worked for 2 yrs until this week and I had/have done nothing to the setup. Just poof.

I'll look into the ports. Thanks

Things can happen.

Ports can become oxidized, causing a poor connection.

Connections can loosen, especially with HDMI.

TV can update firmware causing handshake issues.

Box can update firmware.

Swap the ends of the HDMI cable - put the end that was in the TV into the box and vice versa.  Good Luck.

Here's the thing... Like last time, the next day it worked with me not doing anything.
