If I power off my Vu Uno, I often have to recycle the power on/off procedure to get the box to boot up. The red led just stays on. It is most annoying.

It boots eventually. Is this a common issue? I have the openpli image installed.

Thanks for any advice.

I dont think its that common of a problem on the UNO as it is on the Duo.

Is this a clone or real Uno ?
 
It is real Uno. It is strange, never saw this issue on any other box I have owned.
 
On the Duo this is caused by failing capacitors, but ive never seen any specifics on the UNO.

It could be a corrupt image but doubtful. I would reflash just to be sure before you go any further.
 
As Ferret said mate its not a common issue on the Uno they are a good box still, have still have two of them lying around. If you reflash which I doubt will be issue and its still showing the same symptoms I would look next at the power supply.
 
Yes, I tried flashing new image in the past - same problem persists

Its a shame, as the tuner in the Uno is a good one
 
I've had this problem with both my Uno boxes over the last few years.
Was a nightmare when you had to hard restart after the box crashed, and the box wouldn't come back on.
Flashing new fw didn't help, eventually replaced one of the boxes with a new solose.

Having the exact same problem on 2 Uno's bought 6 months apart, makes me think that maybe it could either be a common problem, or a faulty batch.
 
open it up and look at the caps . don't see why vu wouldn't use the same caps in uno that the duo uses
and see this on a duo where caps need replaced
