Amstrad sky digibox?

Hi, the RED light on my Amstrad digibox is not turning GREEN when I tried to turn it on. I tried everything like using the remote control and also pressing the red button manually, I also pulled the plugs out of the mains for a few minutes without luck. I'm very familiar with the product as I had it for a few years now so any help will be appreciated. Many thanks for your help.

I have the same problem since a week ago on my Amstrad DRX100 DigiBox.

According to another website, this indicates component failure and isn't (easily) fixable. Sky do sell refurbished DigiBoxes for cheap apparently, if you are a Sky customer. I'm not sure about FreeSat customers, like me.
