  • Hi,


    I am having a problem with the front panel display on the Alien 2 tripple tuner.


    For some reason the VFD/LED on the front of the box has gone really dim, so dim infact that its difficult to see even when your inches away from it.


    I have tried re-flashing spark to no avail and also in enigma I tried to use the front panel display feature to no avail.


    I even did a factory reset to no avail.


    It went dim yesterday and when I went into a menu it worked properly, but today it just stays dim no matter what I do.


    Can anyone please please advise me on how to fix this problem.


    Thanks
    Willy B

    He has posted some pictures and been in touch with supplier and his box is out of warranty but supplier will supply replacement board for €20
    Looks like a straight forward job to swap out 2 ribbon cables
