    ex 7000 cant get it to flash, help required.

    I cant get this ex7000 to flash, downloaded the file, re named it, put it in the box, but nothing happened, said booting up and a station came up that's all, put it on the TV it said could not find the file.
    If you can help please give full easy instructions stage by stage,
    as to what i should see on the LCD box screen and what do do next thanks.
    yes i have read all the threads before asking for help.
    Thanks in advance.
    ps i think it may be faulty as others have no problem.

              so, there's a file called 'flash.tbn' on the memory stick?


              turn it off via the switch on the back.
              usb pen in.
              turn it on via the switch on the back. it should now start to flash

                Is the memory pen formatted to Fat32. Can you record to the usb memory stick from 1 of the channels you have. Once you are sure it is formatted and working it should flash. You say you have unzipped it and renamed the unzipped file flash.tbn which is spot on. Switch on ex7000 put usb memory stick in then switch off using the power switch at rear of unit, switch back on and your lcd screen on front of unit should start counting down showing progress of flashing. If that does not work you could have a faulty box, good luck.

                            What do you mean flashed with the lead?

                            A USB lead?

                            Going to where?

                            I've got a box coming tomorrow so if i have any problems i'd like to know all the things to try before i need to ask any more questions.

                              You can flash this box using a USB pen or a null modem cable.
                              Look here for type of cables required>http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...-eurovox-9786/
                              A good quality usb pen formatted to FAT 32 will do the job m8.
