Hi,

I had a friend who had a similar problem. It turned out to be the power supply unit being faulty (green light on unit kept flickering).

Eventually, dvbseller sent hime a new power supply unit.

Hope this helps

I would contact the seller right away informing them of your situation. Any tampering that you do may void the warranty.

The remote one may be the ribbon cable that's loose inside the box, I've had that before. But you would need to remote the cover and risk tearing the hologram so ask the seller first.

update:the m8,s box is sorted, he just tried a few times and it flashed ok in the end. email sent waiting for a reply. the box i got that flickers like the scart has a prob is flashed and ftp,d over the good stuff and is decoding fine just colour is flicking in and out so i bypassed the scart and put in the red white and yellow rca leads and it is the same. anyone seen this before?

Maybe a bit of thread but I am pressuming this is a DB 500c, I know mine is a few years old now but I only have a scart no RCA connectors? have these been added to later models?

They were on all legit models, at least i think so.

An original 500s i bought 2+1/2 years ago has them. my mates old 500c also has them

No help at all but my current problem box came from DVB seller with a network card which does not work. More bother than it was worth to return it to China.

if you can still use dreamup backup a mates box and flash your box with the backup.

The power supplies that DVBSeller provide with the Dreambox 500 are utter rubbish.
Out of about 25 boxes bought off them among myself and my friends every one of them has had a blown power supply some after a few days ,some after a week.
Every supply has blown .
I've bought off other suppliers and never had a faulty psu ,most of them were 700 series units.
The ones on dvbseller are 803 series and are shite.
I reckon myself they are faulty batches sold cheaply.

when you mean power supply do you mean the plug? cos you can change the front part of the plug that goes into the adaptor if its not good.

I'm sure he's referring to the black power pack section.
