I have been using my VU+Duo for almost 20 months now without any problem.
I am using BH 2.0.7.3 in flash and also the same image in meoboot with 4 or 5 plugins on 4GB USB stick.
When I put the VU+duo ON it starts and the TV too is switched ON (HDMI-CEC). I can see the channel name on the VU+duo screen but NO PICTURE on TV. The TV Sony Bravia KLV-40EX400 says HDMI 1 input "NO SIGNAL".
I tried to use the VU+Duo remote to change channels and increase/decrease the volume, the receiver VFD display shows this change in channel. Still no picture nor sound on the TV.
Then, after 3 to 5 minutes or so after playing with the remote, suddenly the picture comes on the TV. Such problem never happened to me before.
I am not sure how/why this weird problem is caused with this latest BH image, Bootloader, hardware problem or something else.
This happens every time I put my receiver ON after long sleep/deep standby.
Tried different options, changing different ports on TV (4 hdmi ports on TV), changing HDMI cable, but still problem not solved.
-At times picture comes on TV and then suddenly blank again, this keeps on happening
-Components connections works fine but the picture quality is not that good.
-Tried disconnecting meoboot/USB and the same problem with flash image too.
The HDMI output works most of the time but suddenly it goes off = It says no signal on tv, then I have to change tv setting to Component. After a few minutes I try again on HDMI, it works again.
Is it possible that spraying the VU+DUO HDMI port with Contact spray help?
Thanks for any suggestions/help.
PS: The warranty has expired since it was bought in March 2011

I have sprayed the HDMI Port with Contact spray but still same problem.
By-the-way, The Standbymode Fan Control settings = Fan basic action = ON. But I can see the fan is not working.
Do you think since the Fan not functioning (not working) could be the problem? (FYI the temperature here is cold 6 Deg. C)
How can I test the fan if it is faulty?
@Supermario : Yes, could be a result of continuous long time MB overheating problem. Could be also HDMI connector solderings problem.
PS: As I remember well, HDMI output goes out directly from main processor.
Can any one guide me how to replace the defective (not working) fan on my VU+Duo.
Tried unscrewing the 4 screws on the cooling defective fan but the fan does not come out without removing the power board.
Any help/suggestions appreciated.
Tks
PS: I tried to install 3 new HDMI cable but nothing works. I then reconnected the original HDMI thin HDMI cable which came with VU+Duo and it works 90 % of the time, only sometimes NO SIGNAL, then I have to switch to Component. I dont know what is the catch with this thin HDMI cable
