Switching off for 30 secs and then holding backup button didnt work for mine - any other top tips? might try a new scart....

the surface your sky box is sitting on could be causing vibrations causing the noise try sitting it on something softer to absorb the vibration happened mine and this sorted the problem i used folded bits of kitchen roll for cor

Place your box on standby for 30 seconds.
Then switch it off at the mains supply.
After another thirty seconds hold down the backup button on the sky box and then switch the mains supply back on while the system starts to restore.
