Unitiqute 2-Fault 51 F-Silicon Boot Error

I'd try the latter. If that doesn't work then contact Naim. 

Thanks James, that seems to have cleared it, fingers crossed!

Good stuff - hopefully just a one off glitch.

Looks like a DAB/FM radio problem....

It might be an idea for Naim to put a list of all the error codes in the manual or on the website, with a comment on what they mean and what to do about it. Even our central heating controller manual does this, so it shouldn't be hard. Who'd have thought an F Silicon boot error was anything to do with the radio (apart from David of course)?

After rebooting the error code disappeared so I assumed that all was OK, not so, I couldn't get any sources to play remote wouldn't work etc etc. Rebooted and seems OK now. a list of error codes would be a good idea.

One wonders why they didn't just call it FM/DAB error.  I used to work with chemists prescriptions a very long time ago and still remember spending six months learning Latin and medical terminology to help decipher the and often used to think that doctors wrote in that way to confuse us common folk.  I have the same suspicion about IT bods on occasion. 

Pointyheads are not normal people. 

Possilby the sub system that creates the error number has no knowledge of the FM/DAB controller - it just knows it has issue with something - and in that particular product it means the FM/DAB interface.. I guess Naim could remap the error names, but perhaps the particular memory used for this is at a premium and if a very rare error it might not be a best use of system resources.... but I agree with Nigel's suggestion about publishing error codes ... many products I know do this..

It depends if the error codes are any use to the user. Apart from a soft / hard reset your unlikely to be able to fix it yourself. As long as Naim understand the error code, that's all you really need. 

Yes but it's human nature to want to know what's wrong and what it means hence this thread

True - but if you don't know your DAB from your DAC will it be any use.. anyway i understand what you mean 

Too late now... but one thing I always do is take a dated photo of any error code before rebooting any device.

The silicon chip inside the Qute's head had switched to overload......

Glad it is sorted out.
