[crag09]

hi i have not been using my dream box for a month or so and today decided to plug it in and get it back running again so plugged in the scart,power led ect and the box doesnt seem to be workin i get no picture on the screen at all not even menu ? i have had the box working b4 with a cline but im not sure why its not working,when i plug the box in the tv changes channel to the scart channel and the little green light comes on the box but after about 5 mins the light goes out anybody got ny ideas ?

use dreamup and reflash the box that will usually bring them back to life, but unless you have a back up image from before you will lose all your settings

i have tryed that but when i load up dreamup and it tells you to turn on box it does do anything the green light comes on but nothing happens the the green light goes of after about 5 mins ???

okie i will bring my adaptor along... anyway, the one u referring to is a direct plug or there is still an adaptor?

its safer to bring it down to avoid getting wrong pin size!

but i think it cost about $18-20.
