When you say stopped working, is there any life at all? any lights on the display.

It's time to reflash read this thread here (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f184/recover-dead-skybox-openbox-flash-using-serial-rs232-null-modem-cable-233298/) and get the firmware and recovery software from here (http://skybox.cc/down.asp). Also it these Chinese seem to brick for no reason sometimes even when scanning.
