Hi guys
i have updated flash-image of my dreambox md500 with the dreambox control center CC293. everything was perfect. the update was finished (OK) and the program toldme to "restart my dreambox manually if it did not restart automatically".
the box did not restart automatically or even manually. it is now always (on) with the green led and cannot be turned off even after unpluging the power cable.
it is like dead, and the tv screen is black like nothing exists.
what to do????
please advice if there is any way to run the box again and bring it back to life.

Thanks in advanced... :(
:giveup:

You need to get yourself a null modem cable to flash it mate..sounds like a bad flash..the only way to recover the box is through the cable..Also the light cannot remain on,on the front if there is no power going to it..Hope this helps.

thanks for the response

I will try the null cable.
in regards the light sure it turns of when power is unplugged. but the power button do not turn the box off or the front led red.
it remains green before and after unplugging the power cable.

what is the procedure with the null cable??
