Screen goes black once and while

Well, that did solve the issue but the picture wasn't that good so he is going to get the component version.
Thanks for all the help!

i wonder if the video buffer or hdmi ic chip has anything to do with this problem the T5 suffers from

[jackson]

Tried the fan on top of the receiver and still does it have new power supply have another on in the bed room rock solid never has a problem (what is the voltage and amp for the power supply that you guys are using)
The problem TV is a Vizio and the tv with no problems is a older LG don't know if that's a factor

You need a power supply at 12v 3.5-6 amp for the T5 to operate properly, and also how much equipment
the Box has to power-up (dishes,LNB's,long cable runs,HD Module, etc. etc.) You should also have cooling measures
in place (FANS) to keep the components inside from Over-Heating. if you are using HDMI For hook-up the cable
Spec's for the Vizio to T5 have to match (1.2 1.3 1.4 etc.) and in some cases you might need a booster/converter
of some kind, cause some T5's have the WONKY HDMI PORT, I have one with it and I had to hook-up with a
Component to HDMI Converter for mine to work right.

i use a 12v 6 amp. my coax run is only like 60ft at the most. i use dish pro lnb so not much power needed there. fan installed on top using power from inside the dream itself.

I'm using a similar setup:I have a thin 12v 80mm fan mounted on the iside of the cover.I'm using the 3 pin connector near the front left corner of the mainboard.It's 5vdc, so the fan runs slower,but very quietly.Still nice & cool, & it looks factory.I have 7 units out there all the same config.We use 4 & 5 amp power supplies with good results.

Mine keep rebooting by itself every 15 minutes.

I replaced the powersupply for 12v 5a, replaced the hd module, I have a fan on it but not connected to the box.

Does it since couple of weeks, I got my box for about 5 years.

Any idea?

Take the HD Module out & see if it reboots on a SD Channel.
when you replaced the hd module did you seat it with the white arrow on the HD board pointing to back of receiver ?
Failing that then I would say you have some Failing capacitors or Bulging ones on the PS Board

Yes, I put the module on the right side. I'll test it without the module, good idea

Also how Old is the Power adapter you are using with the T5 ?

About 2 years. For the moment, it doesn't reboot without the module.
I'll give it a try 1 or 2 more days.

It does reboots with 2 different modules. If its really the module, I'll put it back and try the bootloop file.

[maloque]

Without the module, it rebooted like once in 24 hours and blinked 2 times.
I'll try the bootloop file.

By the sounds of what you are Telling me, I believe you are having Heat issues, the fan you are using
is not doing a good enough Job of Cooling Things or The capacitors on the Power Board are Failing (Bulging Caps)

I think my fan is good, the box is all cold.
But I keep an eye on the capacitors ��

Sometimes it lost signal even if the weather is fine
