M8 motherboard replacement
I'm not sure if this is the place but, . . . . My M8 with the android interface (not Linux) will boot up and display the "Amlogic" logo fine for 10+ seconds fine, then will display the "MBOX" logo for another 10secs fine, but when it comes to the "Android" display, with all of the colorful boxed choices, the display will last for MAYBE 1/2 sec and then go black for 5 -10 -15 secs, (varies) and then flash back on for 1/2 sec to maybe 1 sec! and never stay onscreen. This M8 WAS working fine! I'm thinking maybe it was an update or is it a hardware failure? I believe it is/was running with the updates of Kodi 16.0 and Team Expat! Has the motherboard failed?

In addition I have a few other friends M8/M8S/ MxQ boxes that are bad. Some don't power up at all,some light up but have video output at all and some have loose HDMI connectors. Is there a source of replacement motherboards for these boxes.

thanks in advance and please advise if this is an inappropriate post in the wrong forum!
