my DM500C can't work.

[danny]

Hi,

I just bought a DM500C and when i plug it onto my tv, the screen shows a picture for 2 secs and then it turns blank(black screen), 2secs later, the picture shows up again. This goes on and on...

I tried to press the menu button but no response. All buttons tried not to no avail. What next? Is my set spoilt? or do i have to config it? If yes, how?

Hope someone can advice. Thanks.

Hi
Suggest you download and have a good read of the 'Noobs guide' in the link below as it may need flashing with dreamup.

You need a program to open the rar file.

Download from here.
WinRAR archiver, a powerful tool to process RAR and ZIP files (http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm)

[danny]
