I have an A95X 1g/8g that was giving the "no hdmi signal" issue. This happened after I removed the heatsink. I remember applying pressure to the processor got it working.
One night, out of sheer frustration, I slammed it down on a table so hard, it refused to come back on.
Never thought about keeping constant pressure on the processor though.
This sounds like the processor is not soldered properly and I wonder if a couple seconds in an oven would help.

Well, looks like this one will go in trash now. Sadly...

(1 MX, 3 MX2s, 2 MXQs, 1 MXQ Pro, 1 Nexbox A95X).
Look on the bright side, next time you will know what to do.
Out of curiosity, how did you heat it?

I would never have thought of that
Well 2 boxes ain't so bad.
What's wrong with the S905X? I am an expert at bricking.

I was trying to take off the heatsink, it was glued to the processor, I tried taking it off and the heatsink along with the processor came off

Damn, that's really bad.
I wish we could sell it for parts, but...
Well now others will know that they will have to be extremely careful when playing around with the heatsinks on these things. I usually just slide a thin knife between the processor and heatsink, never applied heat to soften the glue. Next time I will try using a razor and a blow dryer.
Thanks for your experiments.

nope, it'll be a waste of time and money and where I live, I don't think there's any repair shop that has done repairs on tv boxes.SrWladimir wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2019 4:45 pm Are you sure you will not try to repair these boxes? [mention]Nayam[/mention]
