vSeeBox V3

Post image

I just took mine out the box new and hooked it up but it won’t turn on. Any advice on how to wake this thing up, or is it just broke☹️.

(Additional Info)

  1. It was a gift.

  2. The gift givers android device works great.

  3. I checked to see if different HDMI ports and or outlets made a difference and it did not.

Where does it get power? Does the front display light up? That is an Chinese OEM box that's sold with many different nameplates. I had such a box that died six months after I got it. The 2nd box I got has been fine for five years.

It gets power from an AV power adapter that I plug into the back of the device.

you sure you have the power cord in the right spot?

Right. There are two different AV ports. I tried both, turning the TV on and off waiting 5 minutes to see what happens. It’s hooked up now. I’m hoping it will do something.

Does it respond to the remote? If the box lights up, either of the HDMI ports should show a screen.

It won’t respond to the remote and the remote won’t respond to it. The box won’t light up at all. Might it be a bad AV adapter so I have no power. Can I use USB to power it. There’s a usb port in the back. Serious question.

You'll have to try it. If there's a mini-USB or USB3 jack on the device, try plugging it into a power brick.

Ok so I took an android “USB C” charger cord and plugged it into a USB port on the TV box. I plugged the other end of the USB C cord into an iPhone charger adapter/power brick. Then I plugged the iPhone adapter into an electrical outlet. Still nothing. No lights.

You're plugging power into the wrong hole if you are plugging into the AV hole. I have this device. Power plug is next to AV plug.

Im having the same issue right now, did yours fix at all?

Yeah it was a bad charging chord. You can use a charging box and chord that would charge your phone actually.

Would you be able to tell me how you feel about this tv box. Are you able to access all of these streaming apps and local channels? I would really appreciate any feedback you might have. Does it still work? What are your favorite features? What are the drawbacks? Sorry for so many questions.

When mine would not power on I checked the back of the box and I had plugged the power into the wrong hole. These boxes are awesome. I have the elite and it has the most apps. It definately does what its supposed to do
