Fortec Star 6000 - Green Painted Screen with non-stop boot

[mackbasil]

I have a relatively new Fortec Star 6000 FSMCI-6000, purchased 4/28/03. So far it has been working fine but as of yesterday,

- when I power it up, it seems to go thru the cycle of booting but instead of displaying one of the channels, it paints a "green screen"! Then it goes thru the cycle again...etc.

- I also noticed the "Boot" display flicker as if it were turning on/off at a high rate.

- Additionally, I cannot turn the receiver on/off thru the remote or the button on the system, I have to unplug it to turn off.

Question - Do I have a defective system?
- If not, how do I get around fixing it??
- If so, would I ship it back to you for replacement or repair?

Thanks a million for your help.

I too have similar problem, of receiver not turning on, and remaining suspended. It trys to boot from start up or after it is unplug, and will not come on. Any answers what to do? Model # is Fortec 6000. Worked ok until yesterday. Sadoun help, before I chuck this receiver onto the street :shock:

Count me in! This particular model seems to have this problem. I bought it around the same time which is 4/03 and now I have the same problem after heavy storm in my area.
Sadoun, I think it is still under warrenty, isn't it.
