Just got a m8 a dm500c from http://www.dreambox.org.uk/ and the bloody box has come from Hong Kong.Heres the problem it does'nt power up.does anyone have any knowledge about the circuit board and what to test.I have emailed the guy and he says to ship it back and he will replace,but he wants me to pay the shippng (bloody cheek).Any feedback would be appreciated.

Is it the Dreambox itself or the power supply thats faulty ?
Is the green light coming on the adapter ?
The Do803 DC adapters seem to be faulty .
Try another adapter if you have one.
If its the Dreambox itself they are very difficult to self repair for a power issue.

have a look on the laws on distance selling m8, you should be able to get a replacement at no cost to you.or get in toutch with paypall or your credit card company.

I did,nt really want to open it up in case this geezer assumed i'd broke it,But if he agree,s to let me open it up to see if i can repair,then with a bit of luck it will be something simple.

Had that on my brother-in-laws box and it came from dreambox.org.uk, i also opened it and noticed it was disconnected, 2 minutes later it was up and running.

The bonus was that the seller said we either return the box or keep it and pay $50 (£25) for a new one. So i ended up with the original for £25.
