Sky + box not working

[StephP56]

My box suddenly went off yesterday afternoon and gave me the message no signal. I booted it but it would not initialise and after a few boots it is now making a noise a nd will not switch on. I have tried a front panel reset but it didn't work. I have had a look at the viewing card and the chip is dark brown?

@StephP56  It sounds like you box has failed, you can either call Sky to see if they can sort it (however be aware Sky + HD is no longer offered and any boxes provided would be second hand, or they may try and get you to move to Sky Q).

Or you could purchase a second hand box from that well known online auction site.

Thanks for your reply, suspected it had died.
