Random red light - Suspend/sleep mode

[bigivn]

Since the December update, couple of my boxes randomly (usually during the night) go red. They power up without re-boot quickly so I figure they must be in a sleep/suspend mode. Checked settings per factory recommendations including BT off, no effect. Cheers

Just performed Factory Reset, red light is back next day.

A couple of things to try that may relate to the cause of the problem;
- Turn off all CEC control functions on both the STB and the TV. (TV can be set to turn off STB(which might cause a fault))
* CEC settings on Android STB's, are usually in the Display section of the Android settings.

- What I read was there was a bug related to the BT remote functions and problem may not present if using the IR remote only.
* This may require a sys reboot to clear the code for the BT module.

Well its still doing it several times a week. What I did notice it happens usually between 6 and 8 am.

Installed BuzzTV 5, still does it.

does it on one of my xr4500's too , the power cable is sensitive because i keep unplugging and re-plugging it in else-where .

a reusable twist tie attached to the other wires firmly solved the red light of death for me .


hope this helps ....

Well I have 3 of these 4500 and they all do it randomly, without being touched or played with cables.

did you try using a reusable twist tie to support the power cable ?

it honestly fixed the problem for me .

stb(s) used two xr4500 firmware used v20220106
