Just obtained a ex5100 pvr and tried to flash it. However, keep getting the message "download is failed" at which point the box display shows PEAA and becomes totally unresponsive. Is it kaput or can it be rescued?

How are you flashing it? Null modem serial cable with/without usb to serial adapter. I believe best way is direct i.e. serial port to serial port with null modem cable. Re-flashing may just well fix the problem you are having but i'd definitely try serial to serial direct if you can.

Are you absolutely certain its a null modem cable ? because there is another cable that is identical other than the wiring connections are different ....
