H.2H locking up

[Gonch1980]

Hi All,

I have an H2H that has been locking up after a few hours use, it becomes completely unresponsive to the remote, and needs power cycling and then its fine. I've had the lid off and it was clear of dust. The plastic was already removed from top cover ( apart from the bits stuck in the indents, although they are still free to ventilate).

Any ideas???

If it is a heat issue, what about the heat sync, can this come off to re-pasted?

Thanks

Does it lock up if you leave the lid off for a day? This would establish if it's heat that is causing the issue.
They're supposed to have a decent level of ventilation.
I've got a couple of Vu+ boxes (they tend to run hot anyway) that were doing this.
One of them is in a cupboard to be fair. I just bought a couple of usb pc fans and placed on top of the boxes.
No problems since.
