Dreambox is Not working...:(((

[Vousyager]

Hello everyone,

My dreambox 500c is not working...keeps blinking the initial start page with the box's green light "on". So basically I can't switch it off via remote, and try as I may to push the remote buttons nothing happens.

Can anyone out there help me please? I'm missing my fashion channel (

Oh, by the way, I'm a girl...so can you give me clear instructions (step-by-step please) on how to fix my dreambox.

A million thanks!

Try switiching completely off from the mains and reboot or your other option would be to reflash the box.
PS :- where are you are you using the box as a freeview ?

Reflash your box using a null modem cable and a dreamup program . It will be ok

Download dreamup from here

I'm having the same problem, when i connect with null modem cable it still doesnt connect to my dreambox, please someone help me. thanks

well, how did you connect?
Did you click connect and then power up?
Are you using a usb adapter?

I love all the TAUKAY newbies, you sacrifice yr time answering in 10 mins, they will take hours to give you a glance, may not even want to view yr post. All the TAUKAY newbies, if no answer to post, dont expect help.

well, i do have the same problem

[DBTraitor]

If its not connecting, either your usb adapter is not compatible or you didn't have the correct null modem cable. You need to have both the null cable, usb adapter and a dreamup program to connect.....



Don't bother about the color, its usually produce in off white color (Price range around $8-10)




Aten so far is safest bet that it will work on your laptop. It can be found in Sim Lim Square or Sim Lim Tower at around $35 per pc
Of course if you google online, you can find cheaper source... ebay etc

Compatible OS:
Windows XP, 2000, Vista, 98SE, ME, Linux, Mac OS and Mac OS X
For Window 7 user, just install vista drivers, it will work

Try to power off and on the dreambox again and which model of dreambox do u own? If it is dm500c, by trying that method does not help, do a reflash using dreamup and null cable.

One word of advise when getting the null modem cable. It is better to ask the shop owner to confirm as the cable looks all the same. You need to get DB9 crossover cable. Don't get the DB9 straight cable, it is not the same.
