USB Heating V7
Hello
Recently I noticed a great heating in the USB input of the receiver (V7 HD).
The WiFi adapter is extremely hot...
This is normal for this receiver???

Hello and Welcome
It might be. Especially if watching HD channels. Make sure it is located in a ventilated area and/or add a ventilator close

Hello
I recently upgraded it to the last att. of 19/11!
I realized now that sometimes the receiver restarts itself.
I didn't do this before...

one of my rt5370 melted down because of heat! Used an USB extention after that if possibile. Or an USB-extension. Unfortunally it only works in single - cannot connect and USB-drive/harddrive and the wifi at same time - it will only reconize one device ???
Re: USB Heating V7
Yes.
USB heating is a MAIN problem of this cheap receiver! I have 3 of them and bought them to friends too and it lasts like 1 year before I need to replace the USB entry.
Turn off the box when not in use.

You need a powered USB hub for it to work. The overheat is normal in these receivers.ca119 wrote:one of my rt5370 melted down because of heat! Used an USB extention after that if possibile.

added a fan to their V7HD.
It is better to put a fan.

Re: USB Heating V7
I resolved the problem with USB extention cable, the wifi is the reason to overheat.
Re: USB Heating V7
You can minimise that issue by use of a USB extension and place the box at a ventilated location.punk77 wrote:Hello
