    When you say "stuck on amber", do you mean an amber video output to your TV? Or the amber LED?

    Do you get the "welcome", "starting up" sequence on your TV when you reboot?

      The led at the front of the v6. Goes from off/red to amber. The box makes a whirring sound momentarily. Then nothing. No message. No error. Just a blank screen.

        Hard drive is faulty. It needs replacing.

  • Do I just hang here until a virgin operative picks up the thread?

      Hi Jobato1972 

      It depends on how quickly you want it fixing.

      The fastest way is by calling 150 from a Virgin landline or VM  mobile, or 0345 454 1111, option 2 (Faults

      When calling Faults ignore all the options and don't press any buttons then you should be placed into a queue and an agent should pick up the phone and book the tech for you.

      Or wait a day or two and a member of the Forum Team should pick this up for you and arrange a tech visit.
