Hi Guys,

My new blade box has just arrived 20 mins ago .
I plugged it all in and all I get is a flashing red light on the front please help me someone

Mike

I have texted the guy who I got it from and still waiting for him to get back in touch

turn it off, remove all cables except the power lead, turn it back on

does it still flash red or does it boot up ?

hi joe,

It sometimes does take a while.

make sure you have a fat32 formatted stick in the usb slot with the unpacked patch or firmware on the root itself

turn it off with the power switch, hold the menu button and turn back on, keeping menu held until you get that boot loader menu onscreen

then use auto, or browse and find the flash file and allow it to flash the box

Hi ramjet.

Tried that to no luck. I have been it touch with the guy, He said it was working fine before he sent it, and updated it too. He said it could be the power board ,I check ed for loose wires but did not find any. He said he will get me a new power board and send it to me here in spain. I,ve been waiting all week for it and am gutted. Ah well have to wait until next week for the board .Thanks for the reply Buddy hope your well

why replace a power board if this is a new box get it replaced with a new box there should be a warranty on it

i have had a few do this and so have others and its not a one off

[joetwizzy]

Yeah, demand a replacement! You pay using your credit card or PayPal?

[mikejc01]

Have payed wth paypal . Will try the power board first then if that does not work will demand a new one. He said it was working before it was sent so might have got damaged between england and spain .
