• 1 .. Make sure you use a clean USB Stick [with no files or folders on it]
  
  2 .. Create a new folder on the USB Stick and name the folder x5 [you can name the folder anything you wish]
  
  3 .. Now place a copy of KD_P9000E_HD.bin in the x5 folder
  [You do not even need a folder for this to work, you can just transfer the files to the USB Stick, just make sure there are no other files on the USB Stick]
  
  4 .. Make sure the receiver is Powered OFF
  
  5 .. insert the USB Stick into the front USB port on the receiver
  
  6 .. Now you can turn the receivers Power ON
  
  7 .. Quickly press any button on the front panel [I find it easier to press the Power button]
  keep pressing the button until you see LOAd shown on the front panel, then you can release the button.
  
  8 .. This should then fix basic problems regarding booting up, as the OpenBox X5 will be booted from the USB.
  
  9 .. Once the OpenBox X5 has booted up correctly, but you still find the problem persists, then you should perform the following:
  Menu -> System Setup click S/W Upgrade click Upgrade By Network or Upgrade By USB

sorry for being a total noob i cannot get this to work, when you say keep pressing do you mean holding the button in/down or literaly pressing and releasing quickly until you see the load on the lcd display. how long should it take to display the load??

Thanks for your patience

Just follow no 7....of what DW190 says switch the box on & hold the power button in till you see LOAD in the display

how long should it usually take til i see load as its just not having it
Does it have to be connected to anything else or just ok with power?
Cheers
