Have you tried unplugging for a while, then having a another go. Seen the odd one overheat then not work after a cool down they work again.

Freeviewfan, have you tried contacting the place you purchased it from?
Sounds like a warranty issue... even if the supplier has gone under (not your problem).

Have you contacted the store where you bought this from and asked for a warranty repair? If not, then you are missing on your rights and there is no excuse for that.
