Quick DIY checks that sometimes fix it
Try these first — takes 5 minutes
Power brick. A flickering or dead light on the power adapter usually means you just need a new 12V DStv power adapter — available at most supermarkets or from us directly.
HDMI cable. A black screen or “No Signal” message is often a faulty HDMI cable or port rather than a broken decoder. Try a different HDMI slot on the TV.
Power cycle. Unplug the decoder’s power cable, wait 60 seconds, then plug it back in to clear a corrupted memory cache.
