Bricked DDigital Plus box

[mulvihc]

Working on a mates box last night and it has stopped working. Unable to load anything on it. The display comes up with s symbol like a small n - any help is greatly appreciated.

Did you try starting the loader with box off and then flick on at rear once loader has started

Numerous times but no luck. Cannot get the PC to talk to the box at all.

What loader and firmware are you using can you link?

I tried both ENVISION - simple and MV-Envision with both files FixedDD 281108 & DDigital_UKFinapi_080303. I cannot get any contactat all with the box using a null modem cable. The cable is 100% as I use it to programme my Sat box.

Ok spoke to a man who knows and he reckons it will be a capacitor on the board so I'd open it up and look for a leaking or swollen cap

Many thanks. I will check it later this evening.
