Title: Android box won't start
Post by: Eddie on March 29, 2015, 21:06:16 PM
My android box switches on and then just goes to a black screen with android across it. I can't do anything with the box. Anyone got any ideas.

Sometimes if you reboot the box by unplugging it from the mains for half a minute or so and then plug it back in and turn it on, it does the trick.

Tried that Rod..   No matter what I do it doesn't work. No reset button or anything else to press.

Have a really good look inside some of the ports, some boxes have the reset buttons hidden, in the AV port for example.

Shining a torch may help you see them or with it unplugged/depowered carefully probe with a straighten paper clip the circular ports to see if there is a reset button inside.

If you do manage to find it press it while powering the box up and go through the reset procedure for your box.

If all else fails you could open it up to take a look.

Yes, a small pin hole is usually found. Use a paper clip or something similar to press it in, hold it for a few seconds and let go, should reboot.
