5.12 - blue light on standby

Since the 5.12 update the standby light has turned blue is this intentional - Box is operating fine.

    Hi SteNix2020 

    My boxes updated to 5.12 overnight and the standby light on both boxes is still white.

    I've just replied to another thread < here> where the customers standby is  also  blue.

    I put it down to the LED fading, however I'll ask in the VIP forum as around 3 years it was changed from light blue to red

      The light is still white when On but when box is off light is now blue. The box is less then 12 months old and before this update was the standard Red - as I said box operation is normal .

      Nothing to do with ageing, new 360 main box installed today and blue standby led

  • Yes my LED has gone from a nominal Red in standby to Blue too. I don't know if Virgin give any notes with their Firmware updates as they seem to keep their cards close to their chests on other technical issues I've unfortunately found.

    No doubt someone has changed it by accident or by design in the Firmware update as those led's appear to be the multiple colour type, also indicated by the V3 modems 'powered on'  "Cream" colour of choice.

      Mine has also reverted back to Red when in standby mode. Thanks for VM for reaching out but the issue seems to have resolved it self. 

  • Recently mine changed from white when on, to red when in standby,

    and to red when on, to a dimmer red when in standby.
