MAG 322 unresponsive with black screen

by Porkape

Hello,

I have a MAG 322 W1 which has a strange problem, every now and then it will go to a black screen and does not come back on until left unplugged overnight. When this happens the box itself shows a white light and is unresponsive and unplugging for a short time just goes through the boot up screen which then loads to the black screen. I have gone in the bootup menu and haven't changed anything on the box itself.

But now as I use the box more I would like to solve the issue as it is annoying to not have it working when needed.

My MAG unit is updated to the newest firmware. And, I do not really turn off the box rather just turn off my TV - is this the right way to operate it?

Any ideas on what I can do to get it working without freezing?

Thank you!

EDIT: I had posted trying to fix a frozen magbox and also found out that the portal was blocked. Frozen magbox issue was resolved by flashing to another firmware and my provider gave me a new portal so all is well. Thank you for all the helpful comments and u/nickjallday for pointing me towards the transitional FW.

As a start, reapply the latest firmware, you can do that in the settings update menu. You can also try to "delete user data".

When I go to bed, I usually go back to the main screen of the portal. But if there is a long disconnect from the iptv server, the box can get stuck there and a reboot is required. But this rarely happens with good providers.

Flash the transitional firmware it’ll solve your problem. Thought I was going mad until I found this fix.

maybe the memory of your MAG is full and when it's full it's not able to load the playlist.

try shorten the playlist by deleting some countries or stuff that you don't need... should help.
