The TV box won't turn on anymore. Solved

Question

Hello and thank you in advance
This has happened to me several times before, but now I can't turn it back on because for some reason the TV box is turning off and there's no more indicator light. So I unplug it and plug it back in, but nothing happens; the light turns red then violet but turns off immediately. It doesn't restart, the TV shows nothing, no signal, that's all. Moreover, the Freeplush box stays red while before I could reconnect them to green, but now nothing. The one for the computer stays red and the one for the TV keeps flashing green. I have restarted everything but nothing works. I don't know what to do anymore, and without the TV, I'm a bit bored. Thank you.

Good evening,

okay, I'm responding to this 5 months later, but I found THE solution for the Freebox Revolution TV box that won't start.
Unplug it and, using a hairdryer, heat the back of the box on the power supply side, especially, for about 30-40 seconds, then plug it all back in and voilà, it restarts like magic.
Personally, if I don't turn it on for more than 24 hours, I have to do this trick...

Hello,
you mention lights but it's unclear whether on the box or the freeplug.

If the light is on the freeplug, try replacing the freeplug connection with a network cable between the freebox and player (leave the round plug, which is for power, connected).

If the lights are on the player, check that the power connector of the freeplug is not broken.

Swap the freeplug, freebox, and TV box to see if the power issue moves.

Find a 12V power supply (with 2A or more) with the correct connector (+ in the center) for testing. These are the most common adapters and it's safe AS LONG AS you check the voltage and polarity (12V and + in the middle)...

Hello chacha0247,

Unplug the Ethernet cable from the Freeplug of the TV box and use it to power the latter. Then connect the TV box directly with another Ethernet cable to the ADSL box (the one that shows the time). Please let us know how it goes afterwards.
