[mast]

then at the bottom gives me an error ....says....Set Stb Meory error..

Hi

If thats the case then its most likely a timing issue. Try different timing delays when switching on the box.

probably wrong version of loader.
s16 had it's own version,but some say the s10 version 2.0.0f works on that model.

Has anyone used a USB to USB connection with PC to recover a Skybox that does not bootup?
Will this connection be possible at all as we do with phone?

Just purchased openbox s10 HD, upgraded the firmware and now can't get it to boot. I only see a dim "8" on the panel. Will try the procedure using rs232. Is there another way?

Will this work for skybox f3 as well mate?
Will I need to the .abs file with one from skybox website?
Thanks

if it was the flash the display would be entirely black,not dim.
if it is the flash,rs232 is the only way.

What have you got to lose.

The info is here to help you recover such dead boxes.

No point in asking about it, just do it.

You have nothing to lose really.

I have one to do myself.

red light is a hardware problem
