Can you connect this box to dreamup ? If so all is not lost.

[dk002]

dont know what dreamup is am trying to connect box to laptop at the moment to see if i can do anything that way but dont know how

[skegsagypsy]

Have you ever flashed the box with an image or was it all done for you ?, I'm not having a go m8 but the more info you provide the easier it is for folks to help. Try and give as much info as you can.

[dk002]

bought the box with the image already installed , the box itself connects to the internet i was downloading software but it was going nowhere so i unpluged the box then this happened

[skegsagypsy]

ok you need to reflash the box, you need a NULL modem cable, and dreamup, you then need an image to flash to the box.

please check the link below for alll the information required.
