My DUO2 is getting a bit flaky. Random lock-ups even in standby in the middle of the night. I've reflashed numerous times with different images and disabled some plugins that I thought might be suspect (eg EPGimport). No crash logs. Still flaky :(
Now I think it may be a hardware problem and, as it is over three years old, faulty capacitors are the likely cause. I successfully changed the faulty cap on my old DUO but do not have the skill to do all the changes required for the Duo2.
There is professional repair by "moltensolder" that changes all the caps on the MB, PSU and tuner and is supposed to be very good restoring the box to "better than new". That is a possibility - but is it worth £250? I can buy a new box for less than that!
Should I go for the repair or not? Comments please.
