I would dig out the old null modem cable and flash with dreamup. Flash erase first then flash on an image..

[b11mmo]

tried that but dreamup comes back saying "connection established now power up dreambox" thats it, then nothing except flashinf LED's

hmmm tricky one... So you are unable to flash erase? Not sure what to try next has been so long since i had too do mine.... I take it its a clone box, which image did flash it with?

try switching on the box while keeping the power button pressed in untill the lights stop flashing.

Then try a re flash with dreamup and a null modem cable.

Thanks guys tried both but still wont communicate with dreamup nor can you telnet to it, guess its a real failure, asked "dream multimedia" for support on this but they say same thing, load new image.

I have read elsewhere that leaving the power out overnight and then trying to reflash the folowing day works, i can't vouch for this method but i guess you have nothing to loose..

Other guys will be coming online as the day goes by and another idea or two should be forthcoming.

thanks and if I get a response from Germany I will post it in case anybody else has this problem. I have left it overnight didnt make any difference.
later

You need a null modem cable, not a serial cable. They look the same, but the wiring is different. Try maplins.

I know, sorry thats what I meant and thats what I used

[alliv]

are you sure it a null modem cable .....ie.. have you flashed before with it? also make sure the comport is set to the right one.

definately. used it the day before on another dm600 no problem, gonna get it swapped this week, they believe it is a hardware fault
never mind it happens
