AZBOX mini-Me problem

[migold]

I need some help with my mini-Me. It turns itself off, and I can not find an option or setting to correct this. I can turn it on with either the remote or the button on the STB. It will receive correctly. Then after a period of time that varies from a couple of minutes to over an hour, the button on the box goes from blue to dark. It will come on again by either remote or button, and goes through the entire boot-up sequence and receives correctly. It makes it difficult to watch a program when it keeps going off.
Can anyone suggest a cure for this problem? Or some steps to isolate a solution?
I did unplug the unit for several days while we were on vacation, just prior to having this problem.
I am using:
firmware 1.86
kernel 3.5.5-opensat
Enable Standby ON
Delayed Shutdown OFF
In Standby, switch off after 0
Inactivity Shutdown Timer 000

Thanks,

Well.... Since I posted, the MiniME has stayed on just fine... Now, Why did I post? Maybe it saw my post and decided to behave.....

GREMLINS?? Hopefully they're not running some M$ software in there!
Once, quite a while ago now, my S9 began to act weird/funny. After a day or two, of trying to see if it was a setting or some combination of 'buttons pushed' on the remote, I reloaded the firmware. Been 'good' since.

Now, Saturday, and still working fine after changing to a different transponder. So I am Happy

Not gremlins but we are aware of this issue which is caused by the receiver's IR sensor over-reacting to ambient light such as fluorescent or strong sunlight, especially while buttons on the remote control are being pressed.

This causes the receiver to go to sleep mode by itself (i.e. Power light changes from blue to orange). Pushing the power button does wake up the receiver from sleep mode in a few seconds but I agree it is rather annoying.

We will attempt to resolve this issue on upcoming firmware updates. In the meantime however, try shielding the front of your receiver from ambient light as much as possible in order to minimize the chance of this issue from occurring.


Best regards,

Now, Monday - 6 days later - and the MiniMe is still on with no failure.
PwrSurge - Thanks for the response. My problem may be related to the IR sensitivity; however, Mine did NOT go into sleep mode with the orange light on. It went from Blue Light to NO light.
At any rate, no problem now, so I am Happy
