Check post 6 here. Not sure if it's for the right version, but it's a start

That will work on both 220 and 210,got me out of a hole a few times.......serial flash only.

Hi Freck , this box is doin a few strange things , turn it on at the back and i get the 4 lines at top of display , turn it off and back on and i get 4 or 5 letter j , turn it off and back on and get all zeros , the box doesnt seem to want to connect via serial just seems to hang and do nothing , any ideas mate

What happens when the box is off,.. and you press and hold the ch+ button in,.. on the box,..(not remote) and power on?

That was my next question mept ....,do as mept says Millsy and the box should boot and give you the option to serial flash(move up and down screen using the receiver buttons on the front and not remote).once its in serial mode your good to flash.
Flash twice,first with noboot then with u boot,or visa versa,been a while since ive done it.Once your running again you can flash on V8.I've just uploaded it on another thread here.

Hi both , have tried the way explained by mept and nothing seems to happen , now u guys have confirmed its the ch+ i will try again , got a bad feeling i was doing it with the vol+ , will let u know how it goes , thanks for your help

sorry its took so long guys , managed to get into the menu and do a factory reset , all seemed fine for a day. turned it off at the back switch and moved to another room in the house and exactly the same thing. I will try the serial flash if i can get back into the menu , but have you guys ever heard of the switch playing up or power supply playing up on these boxes , cheers guys

That is a first for me Hmmm.

Never had any probs with the itgate but if your curious just open the case and check that all connections on the psu are solid and also dry joints on the pcb.....unplug it first of course or youll have 4 ---- on your gravestone.
Keep us posted.

ok took it apart and went for power board , checked all joints and found one which looked a bit odd so resoldered , unfortunately just the same problem next to bypass switch and see what happens !
