Flashing box, but nothing except On on display

[SG8]

Back again!!

I had the Openbox sorted and working well, but when I powered it on this morning all I got was 'On' in the lcd display on the front panel, nothing on screen, and does not respond to any key presses on remote or buttons on the front of the box.

I tried flashing it with the software that I had originally used, and it appeared to have gone through the procedure (null modem cable) successfully but still the box only shows 'On' on the display.

Any suggestions appreciated!!!

I have seen that on occasions that problem can be fixed using the upgrade tool and flashing that way, have you tried that SG8 and which version of that tool did you use as I have used 2 versions myself, without any luck though it must be said.
