Is there anything at all on the front panel??
Also have you tried disconnecting the power lead from the power pack then plugging it back in as sometimes this works with mine when pulling lead out of back of box doesnt.

[hodgey99]

No theres nothing on the front at all. tried unplugging and plugging it back in loads of times still nothing. do u think it can b jtaged

How are you trying to connect to your box is it via dreamup and a Null Modem cable?

[hodgey99]

YES IAM TRYING WITH DREAM UP AND NULL MODEM CABLE

Ok all i can suggest is keep trying, start dreamup click connect and then keep connecting disconnecting power until it finds the box if this doesnt work then maybe someone else can come up with another solution for you.... good luck

Hi, i recently purchased a new dreambox from china and i had the same problem as it just wont power up, i changed the power adaptor and it was on so worth a try:birthday:

[satcat]

try this: hold the power button in, THEN plug the power lead in the back, should lit up front panel with DHCP info,,u can then flash it through a web browser, cheers satcat

I don't know about the DM800, but my clone DM500-S uses Pli images no problem, I've used them for about 4 years, I am currently using Pli Jade 3.

I have clone dm800 multibooting with Pli Gemini & Nabilo running perfect no probs & a warranty for 1 year & DM are just too greedy with their prices if they sold them at realistic price there would be no clone market!!!

[C64]

I think we'd all agree that Dream Multimedia are a great company, but unfortunately, they are also a greedy company. They overprice their equipment too much. If they were more reasonable with their prices they could almost cripple the clone market.

did you ever get this sorted mate?... Had mine an hour, watched half a movie on HD and it died. LAN lights on, but nothing else. Tried new power supply and still the same.

[Superman]

is there anything at all on the screen? Does Dream-up say anything?

Super

[dctyper]

try reflashing using dreamup over and over again. i done this and eventually it came to life.

works great now but has no lcd

mabe a new front panal will sorte out your LCD Dm800 Front Panel With LCD and remote Sensor [dm800front] - ?29.00 : Linuxsat!, Factory Direct (http://linuxsat.co.uk/cn/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=97&products_id=301)

[hoopy1888]

Hi folks, there is nothing on the screen at all mate. Just the 2 LEDs at the LAN port.
I have tried DreamUp now about 25 times and nothing is springing it back to life.
I think its ~~~~ed!

[dctyper]

do you have a red light on the front at all?

[hoopy1888]

no mate, the only lights are the green and yellow at the network port.

[dctyper]

so deffo none on the front near the lcd? even when flashing via dreamup?

[hoopy1888]

nothing mate. it's like staring into a big dream multimedia abyss. (ok, overdramatic)
Cheers

[hoopy1888]

The next problem is getting it back to the seller!
Parcelforce want ?60+ .... this is turning out to be a very expensive box!

[kevin64]

how long have you had you 800 have you tryed powering it down over night as you can trip the surge protection and that just means unplugging and waiting even longer (can be hours, even overnight!) for it to discharge its worth a try also have you looked insidde to see if the ribbon that connect the front panel tp the mother board is not on or a bad connect try these out before you send it back

[hoopy1888]

Hi Kevin, I got it yesterday mornin. So it's certainly not a verteran!
I left it unplugged all night mate. Will try the ribbon before I wrap it up to send it back. Cheers

[hoopy1888]

made sure everything was doublechecked again. Modem, tuner, SIM, lcd ribbon, fan... still not a sausage... :-(
I'll send it back.... found a cheaper (35 quid) way to get it back. Now i'm unsure if I should go for a refund or let them send another box.
Cheers

[kevin64]

ok good luck its a same when you wait a week for it to arrive and it does not work hope everything goes smooth and they look after u
