Hello folks

I've just got a 2nd hand pace sky+ box given me today so i thought i would start it up to see if it would work- i connected it up correctly and all i got was the red stand by light which came on for a few seconds than the light went off, there is slight "whirring" noise coming from the system and there is light ommitting itself from the optical output on the back, apart from that it seems as dead as a dodo!

Just wondering if anyone might know what the solution could well be?, there must be power going to it (because of the light from the optical output) and the noise from deep within the system and i was wondering if the HDD was at fault would the system fire up at all?

Hope someone can help

Cheers from gaz
