I need a DIRT member to contact me about a Joey that is failing. Video and audio shuts down and when it happens the TV screen is totally black. Power light is still on the Joey but the only way to get it to work is shut it down and turn it back on. I don't have to reboot the joey, I just power it down and back up. It is very hot even when in standby mode. Heat issues?
Joey seems to be failing

Thank you Andrew. For some reason I can't remember how to PM someone. I would be glad to provide the information you requested as soon as I figure it out.
This happened to a friend.....The component side still worked, but the hdmi side didnt...
For a PM, click on the DIRT members name.....supply the needed info
I have had this problem with a wireless joey. Just started last week...........wonder if it has anything to do with the latest software
I sent a PM to Andrew with the information he requested 3 hours ago but no response. A question for the others who have responded here. Does your Joey get so hot hat it is almost more than you can keep your hand on? It was actually painful to hold your hand on mine last night after being on less than 1/2 hour. It is very hot today and has been off all day.
I am aware it is in standby. I just said it wrong. I knew they ran hot but I never noticed it as hot as it runs now.
Just right click on the posters name, a box will pop up and click start a conversation.
Mine gets that hot. I think in the diagnostics menu it said it was 150º. I asked about that here a while ago and apparently it is normal.
I sent DIRT member Andrew a PM 3 days ago with no response and another yesterday and still no response on this issue. It seems like DIRT is not what it used to be. I have used them a couple of times in the past when I had issues and had good luck doing so. If I don't hear from Andrew soon I guess my only other option is to try another DIRT member.
Awww man It sounds like I missed all the drama ... I'm still convinced it's some sort of software bug but I could be wrong, it's just odd my Joey started doing it at the same time as his Joey. Then again I could see it being the HDMI port as well. I did disable HDMI CEC to see if it had anything to do with it and the Joey still had the issue. I know a long shot but I like ruling things out before making calls.
Just to update this. Andrew responded to my pm today but so far all he has asked is if it was plugged into the wall directly.
I am experiencing the same thing with my Joey and also the Super Joey.
The screen will go blank, with no audio.
Channel down Video and Audio return.
Channel up, and Video and Audio are okay.
Started about a week ago, and happens only randomly, maybe once a day.
