Virgin V6 completely lost all functionality.

Hi,

Was watching Netflix and when I'd finished and attempted to return to 'tv', the screen went green with a small amount of distortion at the top, and that's been it for the last few hours.

Ran Virgin check, ("everything is *working*" lol), rebooted many times, tried 'holding in the + and - buttons whilst rebooting.... etc etc, all to no avail.

I have occasionally returned to 'tv' from a recording or Netflix/Prime to find the screen is completely distorted BUT with sound. A reboot or even just a in/out of a recording always rectified this. This time there is no sound and nothing seems to address the issue.

Picture of tv screen included. All other equipment fine. TV OK as is WiFi.

Any help/info very much appreciated.TV Screen Post IssueTV Screen Post Issue

Colour distortion of that sort is often an HDMI issue. Have you eliminate both your HDMI lead & the TV port?

The restart process you've described is a sledgehammer & nut approach to this.. If you do a bog-standard mains reboot, do you get the "welcome", "starting up" routine?

Hi Japitts,

Well yes, I obviously started with the most simple things and worked 'up', so to speak.

I have done a basic reboot which made no difference.

It's more just 'blank screen' I think. Also, there is no sound. I don't think that it's connections as everything was perfect, then suddenly......

And no, there is NOTHING when starting up. There is no 'welcome', no 'starting up', nothing. It just goes straight back to that screen, or something very similar.

Thanks.

Your next call should be to TV faults then. Or wait on this forum (might be a couple of days) for staff to pick this up.
