Light output drops over time due to falling emission and reduction of phosphor efficiency. How quickly and how far this falls depends on the construction and operation of the VFD. In some equipment, loss of VFD output can render the equipment inoperable. Emission may usually be restored by raising filament voltage. Thirty-three percent voltage boost can rectify moderate fade, and 66% boost severe fade. This can make the filaments visible in use, though the usual green-blue VFD filter helps reduce any such red or orange light from the filament. Some people would get great fun out of trying to fix that keep them entertained for hours You could maybe try mailing retailer's like tvtrade or swords satelite see if the have any broken AA2's that have come back they might sell you a board as I dont think it would be worth their while sending them back to china

Everything has been working fine until this morning. I turned on the box and pressed play to get to my HDD folders so I could watch some shows I had recorded and downloaded. Nothing was appearing, only the internal memory folder. I have rebooted and restarted but still nothing. I have a rake of movies and shows on it that I have yet to watch. Just wondering if anything can be done to get the hard drive back working? I have connected a couple of usb sticks and they are all working. Thanks in advance
