Red frame fading: Is anyone having this same problem?

Yes, I noticed this problem on my set too. I took a couple of pictures and posted them so we can be sure we talk about the same problem.

The display time is somewhat variable, although not as large as some frames I've seen. It's something like a few seconds to a few minutes.

Check your brightness setting. I read that one user was getting flickering when he had the brightness setting set to 75% and CPU usage was high. He didn't see it any other time. Search the net for more info. May or may not be a platform issue.

Thanks for the reply. Please let us know if you are experiencing any of the freezing or color problems we've been seeing in the forum posts.

Not sure why you would worry about burn-in with Pandora... Once it's playing for a while, the image on the screen starts to move around to prevent that problem.

I only have about 300 photos on mine and it seems to eventually get to all of them, sometimes repeating some of them. My only suggestion would be to put the photos in ascending order ( and moving some to mix it up) and put the frame on photo order. Sorry I can't think of anything else.

I have not seen this problem. Sounds like it could be a technical issue, rather than your settings.

I had to go check ... It quickly fades in and slowly fades out when timed out

I had this problem until I updated the firmware on the remote about two months ago, around July 2015. It changed all the graphics on the remote as well. Much more responsive than it used to be.

Q: When playing back a video shot at 600fps or 240fps on my TV or Computer it appears wavy and faded out. What am I doing wrong?

That sounds like it may be Graphics related. Try updating your video drivers.

I have purchased three of these frames and never had a problem. There really are no steps required, other than plugging in the power cord and possible try pushing the "on/off" button on the back of the frame. Sorry, I can't offer more help.

yea i noticed that in the onset, Sometime even when i changed the brightness manually it would stay the same. I restarted my machine and some pending updates were installed i don't kno if that fixed it but it has not happened since.

Not sure it is the same thing, but I have what looks like cracks along the frame. I read that this occurs over time and hoped it was not common but my guess is there is nothing that can be done.

My current HotShot is new and this has not happened. However, my older one (still in use 10 yrs at office) darkened and I have not experienced any problems as a result. I would not be worried if it happened with my new one but the questions should be put to Sunbeam. Other responses offer good suggestions, IMHO.

We haven't had the red issue but we have had the screen turn colors and the black vertical lines happen. The unit has cheap capacitors in them. If you can solder it is a $5 fix. If you canT and you buy the new board about $120 fix. Very easy fix though. Look it up on Youtube and you can see what I am talking about. Youtube instructions stepped me through it....super easy
