yes mate i connected to the box via my pc and replaced the key files in the var folder but to no availe? i was thinking of taking it to bowlers computer fair (dont kow if you know it) to se if it can get fixed there? but i would rarther sort it myself so i know how to sort it next time. i was going to have a bash at starting from scratch with the box and uploading a new image on to it and then reflashing it? but i am bit new to all this and am not to sure that i wont get blinded by the science? cheer for any help that you can offer!
