Spec's of the Nexbox A1

Whats in the Box

Underside SKhynix ram


Top Side a decent looking heatsink Glued on by the looks that will help, Wifi Chip AP6330 (heat sink on solid it can stay)


A Thermal Pad between the heatsink and weight plate seen that before great idea, PCB type Wifi antenna


Reset Button Behind AV Port


Better than the sticky tape type of antenna I believe


Vents Underneath That may help with circulation



Full Side SD Card


The remote looks ok


More to happen :-)

[Electroman]

Comes rooted? non rooted?

[trebor]

Yes we have root, not done too much yet with it
Slowly it happens looks ok, thermal looks good
No ethernet or setting to turn it on, someone forgot I guess
Wifi OK...google works.....may be a goodie.

Received this today, nothing on screen when plugged in, with multiple cables, on all inputs into working outlets. Remote doesn't do anything. What am I doing wrong?

[trebor]

NO red or blue led on front of media player?

[beavis87]

Nope, nothing.

[trebor]

Can you check there is power coming out of power pack @5vdc

[beavis87]

How would I check that?

[trebor]

If you have a Multi Volt tester, maybe a friend has, or local electronic store may help.

trebor, thank you for your great work. I want to know why, in all your reviews, you don't test hdmi audio (ac3 and dts) passthrough within kodi when the box is hooked to an a/v receive. I ask you that as audio passthrough is the main problem with amlogic s912. Cheers

[trebor]

Always the same problem and it's always there.

Not easy to get to the Amp to test I am afraid and you know deep down it does not work you're just hopping it will
Cheers

[Leonxy]

Thanks for your answer. I hope you'll let us know when a box tv with amlogic s912 will come out without this issue. Cheers
