**ezay** · 14th January, 2009, 10:21 PM

I tried flashing it with a ethernet cable last night and it failed and gave my a black screen. I am trying to flash it with dreamup but it wont go further than the Connection part and after I plug the power into the box it stays the same CAN ANYONE HELP? Also I Am Using A Null modem cable which works.

How Would It Be Knackered Its BRAND NEW!

**shady77** · 14th January, 2009, 10:41 PM

brand new means NOTHING!!!
box wont flash, either through comport or ftp. box wont show image (black screen)
all this adds up to knackered.
being brand new doesnt mean anything my friend.
