I think my Aurora has developed a fault this morning.

It will display the test card C but when I plugged a DVD player into it, the led kept flashing and the test card did not switch over to the DVD video.

I then tried it on a PAL colour bar generator; the led went solid and the results are in the video below.

The DVD player and cables are fine.

The movie clip shows the colour bars from my generator, they seem to slowly clock up the screen and from right to left. Moving the leads back to the DVD player and it reverts to the inbuilt test card C, ignores the player completely.

Wonder if it's a quick fix or something major.
