Hi - If powered off(Lead came out) while flashing I believe there is a reset button on the Pcb(earlier non Pvr boxes have one), have you tried pressing this while powering up and then reflashing?
Otherwise I think the memory chip may have become corrupt and may need J-tagging
Hope this helps

i assume it's at the back? and if that don't work how do i j-tag!!!!!!
thanks mate

take the top of and you will see a small black button to the right hand side of the mother board

i haven't taken the top of yet but i've just find out that the unit has been flash before, does this make any differns..
because it still has a warranty seal on it and i don't want to break if i can just sent it back... or pushin the button will work.....please advise... many thanks

you have flashed the box so the warranty may be void but i am not sure

hi thanks for the link that looks quite hard to do, but i'll try sending it back to the supplier and see if it can be replace, many thanks
will let you know

If you take the lid off they defo wont take it back, have you tried plugging it back in to TV after the second flash, it often says download failed but then usually changes to successful.

Plug it back into your TV and see if it fires up.

I had a Max V and everytime i flashed it, the first time it would say failed, i would do another flash straight away and it would complete this has done it on various boxes i have done. If it first fails try, try again, ya never know.
