Should have stuck to d boxes
Brand new 500c flashed with Dreamup
First image loads onto box no channels found
Then dont do anything,Nopower light,Wont respond to remote
Erased that flash with Erase from the Downloads
And reflashed with DK1.1
This then loads but keeps rebooting Load screen
Again no power light
I done one last night no probs .............Paul

Have a look at this thread, download and uncompress the erase.zip file .Fllash the erase.img image to your dm500 and then flash your chosen image to your dm500.

put the clean flash on, without flash erase ticked then do the same with the actual image you want.

If your ethernet ports do not work then there is no way you can transfer the magice files. You will need to use the null modem cable and Dreamup to flash an working image from the one fully working dm500c on to your two faulty dm500 boxes.

Or do what I do, backup a perfect image from a unit via Dreamup and NULL modem cable. THen flash that perfect image onto the boxs which dont have ethernet. I have a few duff ethernet ones I wouldnt send back as works perfectly well via dreamup and null modem cable, bit slower flashing, but its rare I need to do it, but it does give you a working box without costs of returning and on cable we dont need ethernet anyways:)
