You can download the manual here. The factory reset is within. If you don't find it, let us know I will tell you how. Best to look for yourself as your set top is a diff one than mine and I want to be sure.

The flash button is on the top of the camera....could you have accidentally turned it off?

LOAD FACTORY DEFAULT (from owners manual) Reset the STB back to factory settings 1. Enter 'Tools' menu. Highlight 'Load Factory Default' 2. Press the 'OK' button. You will be asked to input the password 3. Input the password using the numeric buttons (default is '0000') 4. A confirmation window is displayed. Highlight 'Yes' to confirm. STB will return back to factory settings and clear all channels 5. Press the 'MENU' button to exit

Connect video cable to Y: port. You will see all the menu again. change Video output back to CVBS. (I did the same thing, when i connect VGA cable to y(Green coloured port picture was blued but after few attempts i got clear picture)

A number of things can cause this. Incorrect BIOS settings, cable problems, a faulty monitor or problems with your video card.

1) If you can change the monitor cable - do so
If it worked, great else - carry on....
2) If you have two monitor inputs on your computer swap the connection to another input, only if it is on another card. If it worked great, else carry on.....
3) Try a different monitor to see if the same thing occurrs... if it does then it is either video card or BIOS
4) Reboot your computer and watch the screen - it will tell you to pres a key to enter BIOS or setup - do so.
Switch of cacheing of Video RAM
and Disable ACPI settings - all power and green energy settings. If that does not do the trick then it is most likely your video card - or your monitor... borrow a monitor and video card for ten minutes and you will find out which is the problem

Hiya Margy,
I know your query was 6 months ago,but I had a similar problem with connecting an Aiko SD set top box to our second older tv set & after 3 months only recently found the solution!
Our problem? When connected the tv picture went green! Nobody,including Tandy staff,knew what to do! (We also have an Aiko STB connected to our newer tv and it worked fine from day one.)
Anyway,it took 3 months but I finally worked it out.
Our problem was settings on the TV,NOT the STB.
Go to your TV's COLOR settings,pick a setting called 'COLOR SYSTEM' and change from 'ntsc' or 'pal'(depending on what country you're in) to AUTO.
It isn't enough to change the tv system on the STB's SETUP menu,or to change it on the TV's SYSTEM settings,you have to change it in the TV's COLOUR settings as well. Change colour system to 'auto' and see if that helps.(And of course,change all system settings on both the tv & the STB to AUTO or the right system for your country if you haven't done so) Hope this helps! Good luck!

I got AIKO STB 255 and it wont find any UHF channels i'm in Adelaide why is this so ?

I had the same problem and tried new batteries with no success until I had a close look at the terminals. One of the +ve terminals was rusted (Ithink a drink spill, hastilly wiped off). After restoring this terminal everything is now OK. Hope this helps.

Hi i have a Aiko television and it for some reason it has F A C in small letters on the top left hand corner of the tv, how do i remove it i can't figure it out.
Cheers Tania
