I purchased this unit from AV Home Direct Amazon in April this year. In July it developed a fault, no functions or display just red flashing light beneath HDMI sign. I took it to Gwynne TV service centre under instruction from seller. Nine weeks later the unit was eventually repaired, though no description or explanation of fault or repair could be supplied. Two weeks after re-connecting unit the same fault has occurred. The seller suggested resetting, this is impossible as the unit is non functional. The seller is being quite evasive and not helpful at all. Please can you advise as to anything that can be done? Many thanks
