General note about CIMs.

A frequently occurring problem is the centre conductor of the F Connector breaking from the PCB, this can be caused by over tightening of the connector and other stresses. While looking inside a tuner it is worth examining this soldered joint and reworking it if necessary.
I've taken this from the cable guide i don't know if this would or wouldn't be the problem but it's worth a try.

Sounds like a normal 4001 boot process to me.Once boot is displayed there will be no lights lit on the front display panel, giving the appearance that it is no longer powered. After a short period of time there will be some led activity as the box starts to complete the boot up process. Just leave it a short while and see what happens.
